FREE STATE OF JONES
Writer and Director Gary Ross, Matthew McConaughey, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Release Date: June 24th, 2016
Directed by four-time Oscar® nominee Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Seabiscuit, Pleasantville), and starring Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey, Free State of Jones is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy.
Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones.
Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.
THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN
Producer James L. Brooks, writer and director Kelly Fremon Craig with Hailee Steinfeld and Kyra Sedgwick
Release Date: September 30th, 2016
From producer James L. Brooks, and writer and first-time director Kelly Fremon Craig, comes a wry coming-of-age comedy with a refreshingly authentic voice. Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) and Krista (Hayley Lu Richardson) are inseparable best friends attempting to navigate high school together...until Nadine discovers her older brother and Krista have been secretly dating behind her back. They soon realize that there is a fine line between best friends and worst enemies.
The cast of the film is rounded out with Kyra Sedgwick, who plays Nadine's well-meaning but completely ineffective mother, and Woody Harrelson, who plays Mr. Bruner, Nadine's English teacher (and mentor) who is uncannily wise in the ways of girl-clashes.

BAD MOMS
Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Mumolo,with Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate as well as producer Suzanne Todd
Release Date: July 29th, 2016
Amy Mitchell (MILA KUNIS, Black Swan) puts her family first, second, and third. But her man-child husband, high-maintenance kids and idiot boss are taking a toll. She gives and gives, and gives and gives, and then gives a little more, but it's never enough. When the alpha moms (CHRISTINA APPLEGATE, Anchorman; ANNIE MUMOLO, Bridesmaids and JADA PINKETT SMITH, Magic Mike XXL) at her kids' school push her too far, Amy finally snaps. Good Amy becomes Bad Amy really fast -- and she doesn't go alone. Teaming up with two other misfit moms (KATHRYN HAHN, Transparent; KRISTEN BELL, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Amy gets a jolt of freedom that shakes up her life and might even make her a better mom. So call a sitter, put on your comfy pants, and pour yourself a double Chardonnay, because these moms are about to get bad.
