PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES FOUR NEW FEATURE FILMS SCREENING AT CANNES

Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. is pleased to announce the delivery of two new feature films, AMERICAN SOLDIERS and SHADOWS IN THE SUN, which Peace Arch will be screening for international distributors at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival beginning May 11.  In addition, at Cannes Peace Arch will begin licensing OUR FATHERS, its first picture under a long-term co-production arrangement with Showtime and will premiere the recently acquired film GREYFRIARS BOBBY.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS is the contemporary story of the worst day in the life of a squadron of young American troops fighting in Iraq.  When the squadron gets trapped behind enemy lines, they are forced to confront the horrors of war and the heroism of brave men on both sides of the battle. Directed by accomplished veteran Sidney Furie, the film introduces a new cast of promising young actors including Curtis Morgan, Zan Calabretta and Jordan Brown.

SHADOWS IN THE SUN is a romantic drama set against the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside.  Written and directed by Brad Mirman, the film stars Harvey Keitel (“Reservoir Dogs,” “The Piano”) as a reclusive author and Joshua Jackson (“Dawson’s Creek,” “The Skulls,”) as an ambitious young editor sent to Italy to lure him out of retirement, but who falls in love with the author’s beautiful daughter played by Claire Forlani (“The Medallion,” “Meet Joe Black”) instead.

OUR FATHERS is a gripping drama that explores the true story of child abuse within the Catholic Church.  Ted Danson (“Cheers”, “Saving Private Ryan”) plays a zealous lawyer investigating the cover up overseen by Christopher Plummer’s (“A Beautiful Mind”) aristocratic archbishop.  Brian Dennehy (“Assault on Precinct 13”) and Daniel Baldwin (“Homicide”) costar alongside Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn (“Alice Doesn’t Live Here Any More”).

GREYFRIARS BOBBY is a touching family film about a lonely young boy who befriends a small white terrier, little knowing that the dog's adventures will make him a world famous example of "man's best friend". The picture stars James Cosmo (“Braveheart”), Oliver Golding (“All or Nothing”), Gina McKee (“Notting Hill”) and Christopher Lee (“Star Wars Episode II, Lord of the Rings”)

Peace Arch will also continue its presentation of these following pictures at Cannes:

THE CONFESSOR (f/k/a THE GOOD SHEPHERD) – A thriller that tests one priest’s faith to its limit, the film was an official selection at both the Montreal Film Festival and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.  It stars Christian Slater (“True Romance”), “Deadwood’s” Molly Parker and Academy Award nominee Stephen Rea (“The Crying Game”).

HOLLYWOOD FLIES – A road trip movie that takes a terrifying turn.  Starring Brad Renfro (“The Client”), Vinnie Jones (“Snatch”) and Casper Van Dien (“Starship Troopers”).

THE KEEPER – A psychological thriller that pits a kidnapped captive against her captor.  Starring Academy Award nominee Dennis Hopper (“Speed”) and Asia Argento (“Land of the Dead”.
