Eagle Films, a film distributor in the Middle East and Africa, has long been home to Hollywood box office hits, major movie franchises, and award-winning movies.
This summer hold on to your seats and follow the buzz, as Eagle films has released its summer blockbuster Hollywood action, thriller, horror and comedy line-up.
First up, Jason Statham returns to the gangster genre in “Wrath of Man” for the acclaimed director Guy Ritchie. The film follows a mysterious and wild-eyed new cash truck security guard (Jason Statham) who surprises his coworkers during a heist in which he unexpectedly reveals precision skills. The crew is left wondering who he is and where he came from.
Moving on from action to horror with “Spiral: From the new Book of Saw” marks the ninth sequel of the Saw Franchise with a new spinoff. Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past.
Eagle Films second action movie this summer is “Hitman’s Wife Bodyguard”, the sequel of the 2017 box-office hit, “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”. Three years after the events of the original film, bodyguard (Ryan Reynolds) continues his friendship with assassin (Samuel Jackson) as they embark on a new adventure to save Jackson’s wife (Salma Hayek) from new threats.
Another upcoming action-packed movie; “Vanquish”. (Morgan Freeman) is a corrupt retired police commissioner who runs his city with an iron fist. When one of his loyal henchmen is murdered, he recruits an agent (Ruby Rose) to collect millions of laundered money in one night and she soon discovers the retired Police Commissioner’s sinister plans. “The Ice Road” Liam Neeson’s action thriller flick is also due this summer following the success of “Honest Thief” released late last year.
The story is about a rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save trapped miners in a collapsed diamond mine in the far northern regions of Canada. “The Ice Road” is written and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh who is also the writer of “Die Hard With A Vengeance”, “Jumanji” and “Armageddon”.
From action to comedy—If anyone can make a comedy movie, it’s Robert De Niro alongside with Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones, “Comeback Trial”- where an unethical film producer plans to cash in an insurance policy by bumping off his leading man.
“We acquired the exclusive MENA rights for the Miramax lineup back in 2019. The box office hit “The Gentelman” was the first to be released out of the deal, “Wrath of Man” is the second, and another blockbuster movie is also currently in Production and expected to be completed in 2022,” Eagle Films CEO, Jamal Sannan commented.
“We recently signed a deal with STX studio for their blockbuster movie lineup which includes another movie directed by Guy Richie for Jason Statham which is in production, and I can reveal that some of the scenses were shot recently in the Middle East.” He added.
Eagle Films partner Millennium Media, home of The Expendables, Mechanic, and Rambo reboot franchise has also announced the fourth sequel of the “Has Fallen” Franchise, Night Has Fallen which is expected to be completed in 2022.
