NOW SHOWING
“The Little Mermaid”
at Screenville Cinemas
A live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1989 animated film loosely based
on the popular children’s fairy tale of the same title by Hans Christian
Andersen, “The Little Mermaid” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of
Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
The musical fantasy film stars young American singer Halle Bailey in
the titular role as the mermaid princess Ariel who makes a deal with a
treacherous sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy) to trade her voice to human
legs in order to impress Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King), a human prince
whom Ariel falls in love with after saving him from drowning.
Ariel is the youngest daughter of King Triton (Javier Bardem-“No
Country for Old Men”), the ruler of the Kingdom of Atlantica. She is
fascinated with the human world but mermaids are forbidden to explore it.
After saving the prince from a shipwreck and falling in love with him, she
becomes determined to be with him in the world above water.
These actions lead to an encounter with the conniving sea witch and
ultimately places her life and her father’s crown in jeopardy.
“THE LITTLE MERMAID” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of Island
City Mall and Alturas Mall.
COMING SOON
“Transformers: Rise of the
Beasts” at Screenville Cinemas
The seventh installment in the topgrossing “Transformers” film series
which has grossed $4.8 billion globally, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”
will premiere worldwide on Wednesday, June 7, at Screenville Cinemas of
Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
Set in 1994 Brooklyn, Noah (Anthony Ramos-“A Star is Born”), an ex-
military electronics expert, and Elena (Dominique Fishback), an artifact
researcher, are swept up in a three-way conflict between
the Maximals, Predacons and Terrocons as they help Optimus Prime and the
Autobots in a war to protect Earth from Unicron’s arrival.
The new film is loosely based on the Beast Wars: Transformers
computer-generated TV series that ran from 1996 to 1999. It was set in the
future, roughly 300 years after the events of the original animated series,
and featured the Maximals and Predacons, descendants of the Autobots and
Decepticons respectively, trying to return home after crashlanding on an
unknown planet. The key elements of the series (which later became a
Transformers subfranchise) have been reworked and incorporated into a
story a few years after the events of Bumblebee (2018).
“TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS” will premiere worldwide on
Wednesday, June 7, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas
Mall.
