Billy Bob Thornton decided to take a break from his acting and music to get into the director s chair in The King of Luck . The feature length documentary covers the story of Willie Nelson; a legendary performer and song-writer.

Japan s unbeatable director Takashi Mike takes audiences for a ride in the epic 13 Assassins . The story depicts a group of assassins who are hired on a suicide mission to overthrow an overzealous Lord.
