JACKBOOTS ON WHITEHALL
Synopsis:  

Kent, 1940. Our heroes, a group of villagers from a quiet part of the English South Coast, seem blissfully unaware of the impending doom that sits across the Channel. Chris, a young farm worker, dreams of the chance to join the army and fight in exciting new lands rather than be stuck in the slow paced village life he has grown up in. His chance comes when the three top Nazis, the enormous Goering, the malnourished Goebbels and the scarily camp Himmler hatch a plan to invade England by drilling under the English Channel and into the heart of London.
With the entire British army stuck in Dunkirk and no military support to defend the country, Churchill issues a final radio broadcast from his bunker in Downing Street – a cry for help. After hearing the broadcast, Chris rallies the reluctant villagers together demanding that they help Churchill.
Meanwhile, under Churchill?s orders, the rest of the country are amassing at Hadrian?s Wall - the final line of defense for England.
Can the nation unite in time to make one last stand against the Nazi forces?

OUTPOST: BLACK SUN
Synopsis:  

In the sequel to the hit Nazi Zombie action horror movie, OUTPOST, we return to the aftermath of the reanimated mayhem. Packing an even bigger punch, OUTPOST II: BLACK SUN delivers more action and even more fights and frights, as the un-dead legion breaks out in its ruthless quest for power.

The year is 1945, the closing stages of WW2, and a German scientist by the name of Klausener is working on a frightening new technology; the power to create an immortal Nazi army.

Flash forward to present day, and a NATO task force is hurriedly deployed to Eastern Europe, where a sinister enemy appears to be mercilessly killing everything in its path. But this is no ordinary foe…

Only Helena, a gutsy investigator on the trail of notorious war-criminal Klausener, accepts the reality of what they are facing; a battalion of Nazi Storm-Troopers, a veritable zombie army on the march.

With the help of Wallace, a man who’s been chasing Nazi secrets for years, the two of them team up with a Special Forces Unit to venture deep behind enemy lines. Their mission; to fight their way back to the source of this evil army and prevent the seemingly inevitable rise of the 4th Reich…

‘28 Weeks Later’ meets ‘Cloverfield’ meets “Aliens” in OUTPOST 2: BLACK SUN, an action horror movie that brings the most evil force of the 20th century screaming back to life… again.

PIRATES!
Synopsis:   Pirates! is a swashbuckling adventure with a rich vein of surreal and broad comedy, based upon The Pirates! (in an Adventure with Scientists), from the bestselling series of books by Gideon Defoe. The movie will be created with the same beautiful hand-crafted technique that Aardman brought to the feature films Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Chicken Run. The story follows the fortunes of a cheerful but hapless pirate band as they cross the seven seas in search of the thing pirates love best: adventure. And what greater adventure can there be than battling Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz in an attempt to win the coveted Pirate of the Year trophy? From the Caribbean, their journey takes them to Victorian London, where they encounter Charles Darwin, an articulate ‘man-panzee’ named Mister Bobo, and an all-powerful enemy determined to wipe out pirates forever. The pirates find that their quest is a victory for good-natured optimism over the boring forces of common sense.
