The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Gunman is a 2015 action thriller film directed by Pierre Morel, based on the novel The Prone Gunman by Jean-Patrick Manchette. Sean Penn stars as a mercenary who assassinates the mining minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2006 on orders from multinational mining companies. Eight years after Terrier has retired from mercenary work, he and the people close to him become the targets of hit squads sent by a powerful multinational security firm, and he must fight to stay alive. The cast includes Javier Bardem, Idris Elba, Mark Rylance, Jasmine Trinca, and Ray Winstone. The Gunman was released on March 20, 2015, by Open Road Films. It was a box office bomb, grossing $24 million against a $40 million budget and receiving a poor critical reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
