Coming up on The Picture Show:
The writer and director of new World War II film Fury, David Ayer, joins us on the show tonight to discuss his reasons for making a film that shies away from cinematic tradition and references "real history". Fury follows a five-person tank unit caught in the escalating violence of 1945 Europe.
Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy (played by Brad Pitt) and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Serena, which was released yesterday, is a feverish, MacBeth-like melodrama set in North Carolina directly after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The movie sees a collaboration between actors Jennifer Lawrence and Bradly Cooper and was in fact made before Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. Oscar winning director Susanne Bier tells The Picture Show why Serena was delayed years in post production and talks about becoming the pioneer of the Cooper/Lawrence on-screen coupling.

Also on tonight's show, the writer and director of new psychological horror The Babadook talks about making her first feature. Jennifer Kent explains how Roman Polanski's The Tenant inspired the narrative of the movie and why the domestic horror's Halloween release is "a little unfortunate".
