JOURNEY 2: MYSTERIOUS ISLAND –
The new journey begins when Sean Anderson receives a coded
distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist — a
place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more
than one astonishing secret. The secret is rumored to involve Sean’s missing
grandfather, Alexander Anderson. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new
stepfather joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot and his
beautiful, strong-willed daughter, they set out to find the island, rescue
its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island
under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

COWBOYS AND ALIENS –
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his
past, stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his
history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers
is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a
move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel
Dolarhyde. It’s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to
experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked
by marauders from the sky. These monsters challenge everything the residents
have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected, is their only hope for
salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where
he’s been…
