First Look: ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist Trailer

The Reluctant Fundamentalist Poster

Mohsin Hamid’s bestselling book The Reluctant Fundamentalist comes to the big screen with Riz Ahmed, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer Sutherland and Kate Hudson in starring roles. Mira Nair (Amelia, The Namesake) directs the dramatic film which IFC Films will be releasing on April 26th, 2013.

The Plot: In 2010, as student demonstrations rage in Lahore, a young Pakistani professor Changez Khan (Riz Ahmed) is interviewed by American journalist Bobby Lincoln (Liev Schreiber). Princeton-educated Changez tells Lincoln of his past as a brilliant business analyst on Wall Street. He talks of the glittering future that lay before him, his mentor, Jim Cross (Kiefer Sutherland), and the beautiful and sophisticated Erica (Kate Hudson), with whom he was set to share that future.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the alienation and suspicion he is suddenly met with leads him back to his homeland, and the family to whom he is very close. Charisma and intelligence catapult him to become a leader both in the eyes of the Pakistani students that adore him, and the American government that suspects him.

The collegial pretense of the meeting in a Lahore tea house, between Lincoln and Changez, slowly gives way to why the unlikely pair is meeting on a summer day—a foreign professor has been kidnapped by extremists, and the clock is ticking toward the deadline for his execution. Changez’s family is being harassed and is in real danger. Bobby listens carefully, but with an agenda of his own.

Ben McKenzie and Regina King lead the cast of TNT’s popular one-hour cop drama Southland as Officer Ben Sherman and Detective Lydia Adams, respectively. The series premiered in April 2009, and season five will kick off on February 13, 2013.

Shawn Hatosy stars as Officer Sammy Bryant, Michael Cudlitz plays Officer John Cooper, C Thomas Howell is Dewey Dudek, and Dorian Missick is Detective Ruben Robinson.

The Synopsis: In Southland, Cudlitz plays Officer John Cooper, a recovering addict who, this season, starts to wonder what he has really accomplished after more than 20 years on the force. Hatosy plays Officer Sammy Bryant, a detective-turned-beat-cop facing a whole new set of problems from his estranged wife. King plays Detective Lydia Adams, who meets probably the biggest challenge of her life – becoming a mother. And McKenzie is Officer Ben Sherman, whose growing maturity as a cop brings a darker attitude and increased tension between him and his partner, Sammy.

Now a series regular, four-season veteran Howell plays Officer “Dewey” Dudek, a recovering alcoholic who revels in his unpredictable behavior and off-color remarks. Missick reprises his recurring role from last season as Detective Ruben Robinson, who provides some experienced parental insight for his partner, Lydia. Bergl will return as Tammi Bryant, who has brought nothing but trouble upon her soon-to-be ex-husband, Sammy. And Caldwell will return in her recurring role as Lydia’s caring but sometimes intrusive mother.
