ORTONA – New programming at the Cinema Zambra in Ortona (Ch), thanks to the agreement between Unaltroteatro and Ciakcity. From 2 to 7 February, these will be the appointments. We start with “Asterix & Obelix. The Middle Kingdom”, a comedy, family, adventure film directed by Guillaume Canet and starring Guillaume Canet and Gilles Lellouche. Distributed by Medusa Film for Notorious Pictures.

It is set in 50 BC and sees the two Gauls Asterix and Obelix (Guillaume Canet and Gilles Lellouche) grappling with a new historical adventure. Fu Yi (Julie Chen), the only daughter of the Chinese emperor, has been imprisoned in a coup at the hands of traitor prince Deng Tsin Quin (Bun-hay Mean).

Thanks to the help of the Phoenician merchant Graindemaïs (Jonathan Cohen) and the warrior Tat Han (Leanna Chea), the young heir manages to escape from captivity and reach Gaul. Here Fu Yi, knowing that Asterix and Obelix are endowed with superhuman strength thanks to a magical potion, sets out in search of the two brave warriors to ask them for help.

The two Gauls will agree to help the young princess save her family and free her empire from the evil prince. While they travel, however, they discover that Caesar (Vincent Cassel) and his powerful empire thirsty for conquest have taken control of China. Also in the cast are Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the Roman Caius Antivirus and Marion Cotillard as Cleopatra.

Babylon is a drama film directed by Damien Chazelle, starring Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt, distributed by Eagle Pictures.

It is set in 1920s Los Angeles. It is the Golden Age of Hollywood, a reign of recklessness, exuberance and crazy ambitions but it is also a crucial moment for the film industry, with the transition from silent to sound films. A revolution that will mark the rise of new stars and the ruin of old glories.

At the center are the personal and professional stories of the four main protagonists: Manny Torres (Diego Calva), an aspiring Hispanic-American actor, who at first has to settle for an assistant job on the set, Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), a famous actor, among the highest paid in Hollywood, known for his unruly private life, between parties, divorces and unclear affairs, worried by the arrival of sound, which threatens to cut short his career.

Then there’s the provocative but insecure Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), destined to become an overnight star. For her, life should be an endless party.

The fourth main protagonist of this story is Sidney Palmer (Jovan Adepo) a young jazz trumpeter who gets the opportunity to start a career in cinema.

Various characters revolve around them, from Elinor St. John (Jean Smart), an outspoken tabloid reporter, to James McKay (Tobey Maguire) a drug-addicted gangster in search of glory, from Fay Zhu (Li Jun Li) , actress and singer often protagonist of glittering Hollywood evenings, to Irving Thalberg (Max Minghella), one of the best known film producers of the 20s and 30s, the only character in the film who really existed.

Programming: Thursday 2 at 17.00, Friday 3 at 17.00, Saturday 4 at 20.30, Sunday 5 at 20.30, Tuesday 6 at 20.30.
