A very special cinema event is coming to London this week, comprising a preview of a brand-new film, a world-renowned literary event and an appearance from a BAFTA-winning actor.
In its first ever event at a cinema, Letters Live, the much-loved celebration of written correspondence, will be hosted at Vue West End on Thursday and streamed live to cinemas across the country, hosted by Letters Live ambassador and BAFTA-winning and Oscar®-nominated Benedict Cumberbatch and featuring a line-up of guest readers to be revealed live on the night.
This will be followed by a special preview screening of The Thing with Feathers, also starring Benedict Cumberbatch, more than two weeks ahead of its general release.
The new film by writer-director Dylan Southern, The Thing with Feathers had its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and its UK Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival earlier this month.
Adapted from the award-winning debut novel by Max Porter, it stars Cumberbatch as a young father whose hold on reality crumbles following the death of his wife, and a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons.
Vue Lumière, the distribution arm of Vue, have partnered with Letters Live to bring this evening of readings, music and cinema to big screens across the country, allowing audiences nationwide to share the moment together.
The event will be available to watch at Odeon Wimbledon, Vue Westfield in Stratford and London, Curzon Victoria and more.
Tickets are available at www.thethingwithfeathers.co.uk.
