In July of this year, we launched our flagship Novo Cinemas in Qatar, and very quickly premium cinema was drawing the crowds at The Pearl-Qatar. This issue, we’re thrilled to announce the extension of our Qatar network with the recent signing of a new Novo Cinemas at North Gate Mall. We look forward to offering more and more movie-goers an exceptional entertainment experience. Meanwhile, in the UAE, we traded insights with industry leaders at the International Showbiz Expo and opened our theatres to the Sharjah Children’s Film Festival. Read all about our exciting new developments from page 12. Our November/December line-up offers a treasure trove of fun for the family (p34). Go on a wild adventure with our favourite bear, Paddington; uncover ancient mysteries in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb; and be thoroughly entertained by the Penguins of Madagascar. Treat the little ones – and yourself – to A Great Time Out.

BRYAN MILLS AND HIS ‘SPECIAL set of skills’ will return to the big screen on January 15th. As previously reported, the film is set in the US – a good indication of its size and scope – and will break away from the original premise in that no one will be ‘taken’. Star Liam Neeson adds: “I have to go on the run... from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities.” We wouldn’t expect anything less.

Based on actual events, Foxcatcher has received rave reviews on the festival circuit thanks to breath-taking performances from its lead cast. The film tells the story of Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum), who sees a way out from the shadow of his more celebrated wrestling brother Dave (Mark U Q Ruffalo) and a life of pover-

Desperate to gain the respect of his disapproving mother, du Pont begins “coaching” a world-class athletic team and, in the process, lures Mark into dangerous habits, breaks his confidence and drives him into a self-destructive spiral.

paddington in cinemas december 25 director paul king stars ben WhishaW, nicole kidman, sally haWkins, Jim broadbent, hugh bonneville, Julie Walters, peter capaldi genre adventure comedy duration tba paddington.com
Adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved books, Paddington follows the comic misadventures of a polite young bear with an endearing talent for comic chaos. Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London. When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better
life. Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family, who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before. But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – U Q is under threat.
from deepest, darkest peru, the beloved bear of generations comes to the big screen.
UK celebrities join ‘Paddington Trail’ tourism initiative To celebrate the arrival of Paddington on the big screen, a host of celebrities have joined the UK’s ‘Paddington Trail’, which will see 50 statues of the much loved bear placed across some of London’s key cultural and landmark hotspots. Visitors to London will be able to follow in the furry footsteps of the Peruvian explorer from November 2014. Emma Watson, David Beckham, Benedict Cumberbatch and Bear Grylls, among others, have signed up to lend their creativity to the design of the statues, all of which will be auctioned later in the year to raise money for charity.

With a name as difficult to say as Benedict Cumberbatch, there’s a certain irony that it’s currently on the tip of so many movie, theatre and TV fans’ tongues. His route to fame and acclaim came via the London Theater, but his modern take on Conan Doyle’s classic fictional detective in the BBC’s “Sherlock” TV show catapulted him into the fast lane. Most recently he’s starred in Star Trek Into Darkness; The Fifth Estate; as the voice of Smaug the dragon in The Hobbit; and in 12 Years A Slave. Upcoming is the much buzzed about The Imitation Game. First, however, will come his debut as an animation voiceover artist in Penguins of Madagascar. Who is Agent Classified, and how did you develop the character? he's basically someone who takes himself incredibly seriously - as he
should, because he's the head of the north Wind, which is this elite task force that looks after animal welfare around the world. they've got the cracking motto, 'no-one breaks the north Wind’, or ‘no-one breaks the Wind,’ as it's abbreviated. i just thought the fantastic metaphor in the film is that he's a well-organized, slick professional, but through clashing heads with his polar opposite penguins - no pun intended - he learns that you have to be a little bit penguin in life. He seems quite Bond-like. in his mind, and also in his voice, which was part of the development, that suave, english delivery. there was a moment of seduction, there is definitely gadgetry, there's a lot of action and he's quite adept at what he does. he's commanding, but then he can also be a complete and utter pil-
Why do you think the filmmakers thought you’d make a great Agent Classified? i guess in the way that John malkovich has played lots of villains, i've played lots of slightly arrogant anti-heroes. i imagine there's fluidity there, but i hope it's not just that. i wanted to find a way to make it original. i started putting my two cents worth in, and they were really thrilled by that. i try to make them laugh with improvisations every time. i try to shape it so that it's not me doing something expected. that stuff i love. Did you get to work with any of the other actors? no! it's very crazy to think
that i've just done a gig with John malkovich and not only did we not meet, but he's playing an evil octopus and i'm playing a mock-heroic wolf! What do you think makes a good animated movie? being able to balance adult and knowing injokes and also just out and out funny things that make all people laugh. the idea that it's actually something that will appeal to a family, that's the trick. beyond that, it's great to get in subversive messages about morality and how to make a slightly better life for yourself and others and the world. if you can do that without too much syrup coating, all the better. animations are really powerful for that - it's not just entertainment. it's a very cunning way to get good ideas across. n
