Ralph Carter

While promoting her Showtime series, 'The Borgias,' Holliday Grainger tells Access how 'great' it is to be working on her new film, 'Great Expectations,' with co-stars Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes.

The cheese-loving Wallace (Peter Sallis) and his ever faithful dog Gromit -- the much-loved duo from Aardman's Oscar-winning clay-animated Wallace & Gromit shorts -- star in an all new comedy adventure, marking their first full-length feature film. As the annual Giant Vegetable Competition approaches, it's 'veggie-mania' in Wallace & Gromit's neighbourhood. The two enterprising chums have been cashing in with their pest-control outfit, 'Anti-Pesto,' which humanely dispatches the rabbits that try to invade the town's sacred gardens. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging beast begins terrorizing the neighbourhood, attacking the town's prized plots at night and destroying everything in its path. Desperate to protect the competition, its hostess, Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), commissions Anti-Pesto to catch the creature and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington's snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes), who'd rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero -- not to mention Lady Tottington's hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable-chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor's real intent could have dire consequences for her ... and our two heroes.

Trailer for Howl. Documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman will make their narrative writing, producing and directing debut with the 1950s-era tale, focusing on the obscenity trial launched to censor Ginsberg's groundbreaking book-length poem. The pair were approached by the Allen Ginsberg Trust to make a film commemorating the 50th anniversary of Howl. Among the real-life characters featured in the film are prosecuting attorney Ralph McIntosh (Strathairn), Judge Clayton Horn (Alda), prosecution witness Professor David Kirk (Daniels), radio personality and prosecution witness Gail Potter (Parker) and literary critic and defense witness Luther Nichols (Rudd). Graphic novelist and Ginsberg collaborator Eric Drooker will create an animated reimagining of Howl (in segments Epstein describes as 'a Beat Fantasia') and Carter Burwell will write the original score.
