Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas

Director: John Carney

Rick (Rudd) is a middle-aged American expat working as a wedding band singer in Ireland.  At a wedding gig, he meets Danny (Jonas), a former boy band member trying to launch a serious solo career.  After the wedding, the two men share a late-night jam session, during which Rick plays an unfinished song he has been working on for years.

Months later, Danny turns that exact same tune into a massive, career-reviving global hit single.  After hearing it while out shopping, Rick travels to Los Angeles to confront Danny and sets out to reclaim the recognition he feels he deserves...

A lovesick Mancunian musician named Owen (Fearn) meets his dream girl Emily (Soverall) at a student union bar, but writes her number down wrong.  To help find her, he teams up with an American psychology student, also named Emily (Rice), who secretly uses him as a case study for her thesis.

Josh O’Connor, Lily LaTorre, Meghann Fahy

Director: Max Walker-Silverman

Dusty (O’Connor), the last in a long line of ranchers, loses his family ranch and home in southern Colorado following a sudden, catastrophic wildfire.  Left with virtually nothing, Dusty is forced to sell his remaining cattle and relocate to a government-run trailer community alongside other neighbours who also lost their homes.

Dusty slowly reconnects with his straight-talking ex-wife Ruby (Fahy), his warm mother-in-law Bess and, most importantly, his bright young daughter Callie-Rose (LaTorre).  Befriended by resilient neighbours, including a widowed single mother named Mali, Dusty finds unexpected hope, human connection, and a new definition of homecoming in an unlikely place.

★★★★ “A highly empathetic movie that beautifully affirms humanity ... Josh O’Connor is note-perfect in cowboy country” The Times
★★★★ “Josh O’Connor is terrific, and Lily LaTorre is superb as his daughter” Financial Times
★★★★ “A wonderfully magnetic piece ... introspective and disarming, with nuanced performances” The Upcoming
★★★★ “A thoughtful, beautifully acted piece of cinema. Visually, the film is stunning without being flashy” Filmhounds

A National Theatre Live presentation
Cert. 15 TBC   180 min. TBC

Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.

1930s New York, at the height of the Depression.  Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing.  He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

Captured live from the Almeida Theatre and featuring a live string quartet, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.

★★★★★ “Josh O'Connor is a knockout in this superb boxing drama” Sunday Times

★★★★ “Josh O’Connor is a standout in a lacerating takedown of capitalist greed” The Independent
★★★★ “Josh O’Connor’s return to the stage in Golden Boy is a knockout” The Telegraph
★★★★ “A stirring, on-the-nose melodrama that feints and jabs its way to its message-heavy conclusion” WhatsOnStage

Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon

On 27th July 1986, Queen performed the largest-ever stadium concert at the Népstadion in Budapest in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans.  The concert was part of the famed Magic Tour, which was the last time the band toured with lead singer Freddie Mercury.

With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the first Western rock concert performed in a stadium behind the then Iron Curtain.  Some fans had travelled from as far away as Russia and Poland to see the concert.  It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top film cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity.

Now, this original concert film has been beautifully rescanned and remastered in 4K Ultra High Definition alongside a dynamic new audio mix, featuring many of Queen’s favourite tracks – “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Radio Ga Ga”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “I Want To Break Free” and “We Are The Champions” along with many more.

“The image quality is wonderful – you’ll feel like you’re there” Brian May
“It turned out to be the last ever tour we did with Freddie. We were very much at a peak. Great memories of that tour” Roger Taylor
