The Amazing Maurice
This animated adventure based on one of Sir Terry Pratchett’s hit Discworld novels follows Maurice (voiced by Hugh Laurie), a goofy, streetwise cat who has the perfect money-making scam. He finds dumb-looking human kid Keith (Himesh Patel), who plays a pipe and has his very own horde of oddly-literate rats.
As the new friends move from town to town, the rats pretend to infest the town while Keith uses his pipe to lead them away – all while cashing in on their scheme. However, as Maurice and the rodents reach the town of Bad Blintz, they discover something sinister beneath the surface.
The Amazing Maurice is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now from December 17.
Firestarter
Based on the novel by Stephen King, this science-fiction horror follows parents Andy ( Zac Efron ) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon), who have spent more than a decade on the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) from a federal agency that wants to turn her power for creating fire into a deadly weapon. After their location is inadvertently revealed, an operative is sent to hunt them down and seize the pyrokinetic 11-year-old.
Firestarter is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now from December 17.
Hell Hath No Fury
