In new releases this week, we’re focusing on two huge franchise releases primed for box office glory this Christmas.
First up, Kraven the Hunter steps out of the Spider-Man universe as we explore the origins of one of the web-slinger’s most formidable foes. Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as Kraven, a man whose complex relationship with his ruthless gangster father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe) starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences.
A whopping fourteen PGGB Members worked on this production, alongside ten of our Partners and Affiliates, which arrives ins cinemas today.
Hitting the big screen next week, on December 21st, is the third in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The star-stuffed video game adaptation stars Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba and more, and introduces a new adversary for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles: Shadow the Hedgehog.
Nine of our Members and six Partners and Affiliates worked on the production of the film.
