We have picked the biggest and best new Hollywood films arriving in Hong Kong cinemas between now and mid-December (opening dates are for Hong Kong).
1. See How They Run
The whodunnit is very much back in fashion, as witnessed by this star-studded 1950s-set murder mystery staged in London’s bustling West End theatre district.
When a prominent American producer is bumped off, it falls to Sam Rockwell’s world-weary detective and Saoirse Ronan’s overzealous police constable to foil the plot, before the rest of the company suffer an equally grisly fate. David Oyelowo, Reece Shearsmith and Adrien Brody also star. (Opens September 29)
2. Smile
Already putting gleeful grins on the faces of horror fans everywhere thanks to its brilliantly unnerving trailer, Smile looks set to become the must-see spine-chiller of the season.
