Meanwhile, Dearing, an activist for dinosaur rights, partners up with Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), a former partner of the CEO of Jurassic Park, to rescue the dinosaurs and bring them to Lockwood’s sanctuary in America.

But, Grady and Dearing discover that the plan to bring the dinosaurs to Lockwood’s estate is all just a scheme to eventually auction them away.

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story (15)
Documentary / June 7 / English / 89

“Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.”

Inspired by the true story of Hollywood actor Hedy Lamarr, this documentary revolves on Lamarr and her accomplishments in both the entertainment and technology industries. An Austrian immigrant, Lamarr is not only known for being one of Hollywood’s top actors in the 1940s but also as an innovative inventor who made several significant scientific contributions.

Her most well-known work is the invention of frequency hopping, which is a wireless form of technology that transmits radio signals. This was a groundbreaking discovery, as this technology directly influenced the creation of technological devices such as wireless phones, Bluetooth and WiFi.

Acclaimed for being a beautiful Hollywood starlet, unfortunately, her groundbreaking scientific accomplishment has not received the recognition they deserve.

Directed by Emmy award-winning producer Alexandra Dean, this film emphasizes how Lamarr’s contributions as a talented inventor were overshadowed by her cinematic career. This film won the Audience Award Best Documentary at the 2017 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the world’s oldest Jewish film festival.

Based on internationally acclaimed director Johnnie To’s 2012 crime thriller “Drug War,” this is the first time that Lee is at the helm of an action film.

This film is the final work from actor Kim Joo-hyuck, who died in a car crash last October.
