"You're a doctor. You know exactly where feelings get you." Greenwich has released an official US trailer for a Hungarian romantic drama called Preparations to be Together for an Unknown Period of Time (originally Felkészülés meghatározatlan ideig tartó együttlétre in Hungarian). This premiered at the Venice Film Festival in the Venice Days sidebar last year. The film stars Natasa Stork as Márta, a 40-year-old neurosurgeon, who has fallen in love.

Cinemax's hit action series Strike Back returns tonight, Friday, September 30th, with the all-new Episode 7. Section 20 negotiates the release of five European Union officials taken hostage by Kosovoan weapons, drugs and human trafficker Hasani (Mel Raido), intending to exchange the hostages for Hasani's cousin Rama (Zsolt Nagy), who is in a Vienna prison for attacks on U.S. and British targets. One of the hostages is undercover Mi-6 terror expert John Allen (Adrian Rawlins), identified by Crawford (Iain Glen) as Latif's (Jimi Mistry) inside man. When the exchange in rural Kosovo doesn't go as planned, Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) are stranded with the hostages and surrounded by Hasani's forces. We have an excited exclusive look at tonight's episode, which you can check out in the clip below, along with four more clips and a photo gallery.
