April premieres on Sky Cinema
Sky Cinema is back with lots of exciting films for you to enjoy – from Florence Pugh’s turn in a poignant indie flick to Jordan Peele’s epic sci-fi adventure
By Virgin TV Edit
Drip drip drop, little April showers… If you find yourself stuck indoors this month, you could do a lot worse than hunkering down in front of a brilliant film. And Sky Cinema is here with its latest and greatest, all available at the push of a button.
Into magic, superheroes or sci-fi? We’ve got all bases covered this month. Start with The Portable Door, a supernatural mystery set in modern London. There’s also kid-friendly Superman spin-off DC League Of Super-Pets – plus Nope, directed by Oscar winner Jordan Peele, which features aliens in California like you’ve never seen them before.
If you prefer more down-to-earth fare, there’s A Good Person, with Florence Pugh as a woman trying to move on from unimaginable loss (with the help of Morgan Freeman).
Don’t forget, you can also watch hundreds of Sky Cinema titles on up to five devices with the awesome Virgin TV Go app at no extra cost to Sky Cinema subscribers. It’s the perfect way to take a bit of movie magic with you. Find out more about the Virgin TV Go app here.
Mr Malcolm’s List
Available now in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
Heavy on swooning and scheming, this Regency-era romance will be an easy sell to Bridgerton fans. Fresh Meat’s Zawe Ashton stars as Julia, who’s rejected by London’s most eligible bachelor Mr Malcolm (Sope Dirisu, His House) when she fails to meet an item on his lengthy list of attributes his future wife must have. Out for revenge, Julia persuades her friend Selina (Freida Pinto, Slumdog Millionaire) to pretend to be Mr Malcolm’s perfect woman. Predictably but entertainingly, things don’t go exactly to plan.
Emily The Criminal
Available from Saturday 1 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
This crime thriller stars Aubrey Plaza (Parks & Recreation) as college graduate Emily, who becomes involved in a credit card scam after falling into debt. It starts off small as she acts as a “dummy shopper” to buy risky products with stolen credit cards, but things soon escalate as she falls further down the rabbit hole. Plaza gives a terrific performance, painting a gripping picture of a life ruled by debt.
Death Pursuit
Available from Sunday 2 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
Viewers are in for a wild ride as James Clayton (Candiland) stars in his own action-packed directorial debut. Playing a criminal known only as “The Thief”, he’s on a one-man mission to steal millions from bad guy Temple (Vinnie Jones, The Enforcer). But while on the run he finds a stowaway in his car – Mia (Lina Lecompte, Fort Salem), aka Temple’s wife. With the pair both fleeing the criminal boss, can they escape the clutches of Temple’s henchmen too?
The Portable Door
Available from Friday 7 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
Many people have worked for employers they don’t particularly like. But what would you do if you learned your boss was trying to “disrupt” ancient magic via nefarious corporate strategy? That’s the premise of The Portable Door, in which interns Paul (Patrick Gibson, Before We Die) and Sophie (Sophie Wilde, You Don’t Know Me) suspect something is up at the mysterious firm JW Wells & Co. Quickly, they realise that their CEO Humphrey (Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained) and manager Dennis (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park) aren’t interested in the good kind of magic.
The Forgiven
Available from Saturday 8 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
David (Ralph Fiennes, Schindler’s List) and Jo (Jessica Chastain, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye) are a miserably married couple. On their way to a friend’s lavish party at a grand Moroccan villa, they accidentally hit and kill a young local boy who was selling fossils at the side of the road. The couple attempt to cover up their crime by colluding with the local police – but when the boy’s father seeks justice, a culture clash ensues that sees David and Jo slowly start to understand the horrifying consequences of their careless actions.
Dig
Available from Sunday 9 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
Scott (Thomas Jane, Deep Blue Sea) takes his teenage daughter Lola (Harlow Jane) with him to a demolition job in an isolated house. It’s when they find thousands of dollars hidden at the property that their problems begin. Before they can act on their discovery, a pair of masked criminals show up and hold Scott and Lola at gunpoint. Scott knows that as long as they continue to dig, they’ll be kept alive – but will that be long enough for him to get himself and Lola out of the situation? A tense and twisty thriller.
DC League Of Superpets
Available from Friday 14 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
Did you know Superman has a canine sidekick called Krypto the Super-Dog? Well, in this 3D animated comedy, he does, and the dynamic duo share the same superpowers to help them fight crime in Metropolis. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto – voiced by Dwayne Johnson – must convince a gang of shelter animals (who have powers of their own) to help him rescue his best friend.
Nope
Available from Friday 21 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
If you missed this blockbuster in cinemas last summer, now’s your chance to catch it at home. When Hollywood animal wrangler OJ (Daniel Kaluuya, Judas And The Black Messiah) and his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer, Hustlers) start noticing unexplained phenomena on their California ranch, their mission to film the mystery sets off a terrifying chain of events they could never have predicted. Directed by Get Out’s Jordan Peele, it’s a truly epic watch that offers a new spin on sci-fi.
Blueback
Available from Saturday 22 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert PG
Marine biologist Abby (Mia Wasikowska, Alice In Wonderland), returns to her home town to care for her mother Dora (Radha Mitchell, Olympus Has Fallen), who has suffered a stroke. To help raise Dora from her non-verbal state, Abby starts recounting stories from her childhood – in particular, when Abby (played as a child by Ariel Donoghue and Ilsa Fogg) befriended a blue grouper living in the nearby bay and named it Blueback. A heartwarming tale about the importance of both family and marine conservation.
A Good Person
Available on Friday 28 April in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15
Grief and forgiveness are the central themes of this new film, written and directed by Zach Braff (Garden State). Allison (Florence Pugh, Little Women) is happily engaged to the love of her life, but everything falls apart when she’s involved in a car crash that kills her fiancé’s sister. When Allison forms a tentative friendship with her would-be father-in-law Daniel (Morgan Freeman, wise and twinkly as ever), it offers them both a chance at redemption.
