HBO Defined presents blockbuster films on I-Day

Mumbai, Aug 13 (IBNS): HBO Defined gears up to celebrate the Independence Day weekend with a fantastic line-up of movies, exclusively 100% ad-free.

Keeping the spirit of freedom alive are movies like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Ender’s Game, Noah, I,Frankenstein, Gravity, Now You See Me and many more that will keep one hooked.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts.

Asa Butterfield, who plays the young Ender Wiggin in Ender's Game, is recruited by the International Military to lead the fight against the Formics, a genocidal alien race which nearly annihilated the human race in a previous invasion.

Make way for the extraordinary Russell Crowe in Noah, as he plays the  man who is chosen by his world's creator to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world. Watch him as he builds an ark large enough to hold his family and breeding pairs of every animal.

I, Frankenstein, premiering on HBO Defined, revolves around a dystopic present where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power. Victor Frankenstein's creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle as both sides race to discover the secret to his immortality.

Moving to sci-fi, don't miss Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller, Gravity, that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. Watch the medical engineer and the astronaut work together to survive after a catastrophe destroys their shuttle and leaves them adrift in orbit.

Watch an FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money in Now You See Me.

“We invite our audience to celebrate the spirit of freedom with their favorite movies on HBO Premium channel, HBO Defined, this Independence Day by not just offering exceptional titles but also presenting them with a completely memorable uninterrupted viewing experience,” said Shonali Bedi, Director, Marketing and Business Development.
