Important things for exam

Section A:
American blockbuster- Star Trek into Darkness
This film is a sequel, and based on a successful TV franchise. Big audience because people are fans of the show.
Released May 2013 in the cinemas and then released on DVD September 2013, the distributor is Paramount.
The Rating is 12A meaning there will be a wider audience.
The production budget was $190 million and made over $467 million worldwide
The actors have a big fan base:
Chris Pine (Pine nuts)
Zachary Quinto
Simon Pegg
Benedict Cumberbatch (Cumberbitches)
They advertised well with different posters and trailers.

I didn't watch this film because I don't like the star trek franchise to begin with but if I was to watch it, it would be mainly because of the actors, I have seen them all in other things and liked their acting.

British film- My week with Marilyn

They advertised well everything was an enigma code

I have watched this film but it did bore me, I only watched it for Eddie Redmayne because I think he is a great actor. I didn't watch it in the cinema or on DVD I downloaded it, I didn't think it was worth buying.

Independent film- The Whistleblower
