Starflix to Premiere Blockbuster Gangster Film
I was talking to a friend about film yesterday and she pointed out that Starflix is probably the only cinema chain in the country that is actually bringing in films that are not considered “safe.” By “safe”, I mean films that are sureshot blockbusters. For example: last week, they were the first in Africa to premiere Bob Marley’s documentary.
This week, Starflix premieres Savages. The Oliver Stone crime thriller that stars Taylor Kitsch (John Carter), Aaron Johnson (Kick A**), Salma Hayek (Grown Ups), Emile Hirsch (Alphadog), John Travolta (Face Off) and Demian Bichir (A Better World).
You might know Oliver Stone as the director of one the best war films of all time, Platoon, one of the best sports film of all time, Any Given Sunday, and one of the best gangster films of all time (and every rapper’s favourite film), Scarface. He goes back to doing a gangster film by directing Savages, an adaptation of Don Winslow’s book of the same name.
