Check out these clips from the film.

For those of you who are longtime fans of Shaun the Sheep (hand raised), we all know the charming little wonder made his screen debut in 1995 with a minor role, rescuing Gromit from jail in the Oscar winning A CLOSE SHAVE. Since then his career has spiralled and he has become one of Aardman Animation’s biggest stars.

When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan, and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it’s up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home.

SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE is a StudioCanal and Aardman Animations production, produced by Julie Lockhart and Paul Kewley from Aardman Animations (WALLACE AND GROMIT, CHICKEN RUN), written and directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzak.

Go behind the scenes with Jude Law and the cast with three new featurettes from BLACK SEA.

In his review of the film, James Rocchi (The Wrap) says the film, “will have any thrillseekers in the theater clutching their armrest and shivering with imagined terrors.”

BLACK SEA is a suspenseful adventure thriller centering on a rogue submarine captain (two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law) who pulls together a misfit crew to go after a sunken treasure rumored to be lost in the depths of the Black Sea. As greed and desperation take control onboard their claustrophobic vessel, the increasing uncertainty of the mission causes the men to turn on each other to fight for their own survival.

Back Lot Music is issuing the digital soundtrack album for BLACK SEA, directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald, it was announced today. The soundtrack features 25 new score cues by composer Ilan Eshkeri.

Focus Features opens the movie exclusively in New York and Los Angeles on January 23rd; and expands the run to additional cities on January 30th.

Mr. Eshkeri most recently composed the original score for Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland’s acclaimed STILL ALICE, starring Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Julianne Moore.
