The refined and refreshed Sony Movie Channel will launch with 14 channel premieres in its first month including Godzilla, Twilight, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Maid In Manhattan, The Mask of Zorro and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Kate Marsh, executive vice president of Sony Pictures Television’s Western Europe International Networks division said, “Sony has a rich cinematic heritage. With our knowledge and love of movies we want to present the best possible movie channel for everyone across the UK and build on our wide-ranging, successful portfolio. The cinematic new look reflects the new channel content offering – favourite movies you will know and love.”

The brand new Sony Movie Channel will launch on Tuesday 10th January with a monster marathon, featuring the channel premiere of Godzilla starring Matthew Broderick at 9pm followed by the Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster, Predator at 11pm.
