Universal Pictures to release Last Christmas
in North America on November 15, 2019
“In just a little over a year, Henry Golding has proven that he has what it takes to be a leading man on the big screen,” noted Neuhauser. “From Crazy Rich Asians, to A Simple Favor, and the upcoming Last Christmas, Bush and Monsoon, Golding will continue to entertain movie audiences around the world, and we are thrilled to honor him as this year’s ‘Male Star of Tomorrow.’”
Golding will next star in Last Christmas, to be released by Universal Pictures on November 15, 2019. A romantic comedy inspired by a George Michael beat and written by Academy Award Award® winner Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility, Bridget Jones’s Baby) and playwright Bryony Kimmings, Last Christmas, is directed by Paul Feig (A Simple Favor, Spy, Bridesmaids) and stars Golding along with Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Thompson.
In Bush, from director Guy Ritchie, Golding stars opposite Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant as a ruthless Vietnamese gangster named Dry Eyes who’s attempting to wrest control of London’s lucrative drug trade. Bush is scheduled for release next year.
Golding also stars in the upcoming drama Monsoon, from director Hong Khaou (Lilting), as Kit, a British-Vietnamese man who returns to Saigon 30 years after his family fled during America’s war in Vietnam.
Golding first appeared on the big screen when he was selected to star as Nick Young in the mega-hit Crazy Rich Asians. He quickly solidified his position as a leading man with his role of Sean in Paul Feig’s A Simple Favor, starring opposite Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. This past year Golding became the first Asian actor to grace the GQ Man of the Year cover. He made Variety’s 10 Actors to Watch and was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue.
About Last Christmas
Kate (Emilia Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Henry Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart … and you gotta have faith.
Last Christmas features the music of George Michael, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the film’s title. The film will also premiere brand new unreleased material by the legendary Grammy-winning artist, who sold more than 115 million albums and recorded 10 No. 1 singles over the course of his iconic career.
Last Christmas is directed by Paul Feig and is produced by Feig and Jessie Henderson for his Feigco Entertainment, and by BAFTA winner David Livingstone for Calamity Films, and by Oscar® winner Emma Thompson, who wrote the screenplay with playwright Bryony Kimmings.

And call her “Ma.” But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare. Ma also stars Juliette Lewis, Luke Evans, McKaley Miller, Missi Pyle, Corey Fogelmanis, Gianni Paolo and Dante Brown. Directed by Tate Taylor, Ma, is written by Scotty Landes and is produced by Jason Blum for his Blumhouse Productions, and by Taylor and John Norris.

in theatres April 26, 2019
“From the very beginning with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Anthony and Joe Russo have proven they have a story to tell and have brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe to levels others could only have dreamed of,” noted Neuhauser. “With the impending release of Avengers: Endgame, they are sure to continue their critical and box office success as they thrill, surprise and entertain audiences around the globe.”
Anthony and Joe Russo made their Marvel cinematic directorial debut with the critically acclaimed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which grossed more than $713 million worldwide.

Born a year apart in Cleveland, Ohio, the brothers embarked on their film careers after graduating high school. In 1994, they used credit cards and student loans to finance their experimental comedy Pieces. They shot the film with the help of friends and family in and around Cleveland. Screened at both Slamdance and the American Film Institute festivals, the film caught the eye of filmmaker, Steven Soderbergh, who asked to produce the brothers’ second film Welcome to Collinwood, with his producing partner, George Clooney. They followed that up by directing the pilot for Lucky, which led to Arrested Development for which they won an Emmy® Award for Best Directing. The brothers also directed the pilots and served as executive producers on Community and Happy Endings.

“It is our great honor to single out the achievements of Jérôme Seydoux for all he has done for the motion picture industry from a production, distribution and of course, exhibition standpoint,” said Neuhauser. “The Seydoux name is synonymous with excellence and an unequalled passion and love for film and the environment in which it is shown. Cinémas Pathe Gaumont is a world class leader when it comes to the motion picture theatrical experience and filmmakers and moviegoers are the great benefactors of their commitment and dedication to the world of cinema.”
In 1990, Seydoux purchased Pathé Cinema which he merged with Gaumont in 2002 to form Les Cinémas Pathe Gaumont. Now one of Europe’s leading cinema companies, Pathé is active in film production, in France and the United Kingdom and film distribution in, France and Switzerland. They currently have 108 cinemas with 1,133 screens in France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Tunisia with 23 IMAX, 42 4DX and 11 Dolby Cinema. The company has produced and co-produced many English language pictures including The Queen, and Slumdog Millionaire while also pioneering the restoration and screening of classic titles via the Jérôme Seydoux Pathé Foundation. In 2018, Pathé recorded $1 billion in revenue and by the end of December, the company was employing 4,142 people in five countries. Pathé was founded in 1896 by Charles Pathé. Before the first World War, Pathé was the undisputed world leader of film production and distribution and opened their first cinema in Paris in 1906.
Seydoux began his career in finance in the 1960s before going on to acquire corporations such as Pricel and Chargeurs Réunis, merging them to form Chargeurs. In 1986 he became chairman of La Cinq, France’s first private unencrypted television channel. His involvement in the media industry later included his production and distribution of films in association with Claude Berri, as well as his participation in the creation of the first European satellite platform Sky on which he became Chairman of the Board of Directors between 1998 and 1999. Jérôme Seydoux is also vice-president of OL Groupe, the Lyons soccer club.
