Best known as Jarvis/Vision in the blockbuster Marvel movies, as well as for his portrayal in “A Beautiful Mind,” acclaimed actor Paul Bettany makes his directorial debut by way of the gritty drama, “Shelter,” which he also wrote. The film stars Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackenzie, who play strangers who come from different worlds—until their lives intersect when they find themselves homeless in the harsh streets of New York. “Shelter,” opening on Oct. 12 at Vista Mall and Star Mall cinemas, tells a compelling story of loss, love, sacrifice, hope and redemption.
