Giant

110 mins
Drama
Based on the remarkable true story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed and his relationship with Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle, GIANT charts Naz's inspiring rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming champion of the world. With his unorthodox style, cocky persona and sheer dominance of the sport, Naseem faced down the abhorrent racism and islamophobia that swept Britain in the 80's and 90's, to become a global sporting icon, both inside and outside of the ring. The film explores the unlikely and tender relationship between Naz and his trainer Ingle - a steel industry worker who ran a humble boxing gym in a church hall in the North of England; and the instrumental role that Ingle played on Naz's road to success. With exhilarating and visceral scenes in the ring, coupled with deeply moving and intimate moments behind the curtain, GIANT is an inspiring biopic of one of the greatest showmen the sporting world has even seen-? the untold true story of the boy behind The Prince. Pierce Brosnan (James Bond franchise, Mamma Mia!, The Love Punch, Mobland) stars as Brendan Ingle, with Amir El-Masry (The Night Manager, Limbo, The Crown, SAS: Rogue Heroes) playing Naseem Hamed. From executive producer Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, Creed), GIANT is written and directed by film-maker Rowan Athale (Gangs of London).

28 Years Later & 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple – Double Bill

225 mins
Horror, Sci-fi, Thriller
A double bill of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Years Later and Nia DaCosta's new sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. 28 Years Later: It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later - but turning that world on its head - Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship - with consequences that could change the world as they know it - and Spike's (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell) becomes a nightmare he can't escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival - the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
