MUMBAI: With the war to increase channel share heating up among English movie channels, Star Movies has announced a new programming initiative Danger Zone.. Next month, a spate of action oriented films targetting film buffs looking for tele thrills on Sunday evenings are scheduled for airing.
Kicking off the programme initiative this Sunday at 6:15 pm is Fight Club. The film stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as two young men who form a club to relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp. Soon it turns into a terrorist organisation targetting the establishment.
On 8 September, Terminator 2 , the futuristic film that won several Oscars when released including one for sound, airs. On 15 September at 6:45 pm, the Tom Cruise spy film Mission Impossible takes centrestage. Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, the point man for the Impossible Missions Force. His latest mission is to prevent a "NOC list" from falling into the hands of an international arms dealer. If placed on the open market, the NOC list would put every United States deep cover agent in danger of exposure.
The schedule is as follows
1 September 6:15 pm Fight Club
8 September - 6:15 pm Terminator 2 Judgement Day
15 September - 6:45 pm Mission Impossible
