Another high concept romantic comedy from Richard Curtis, anybody? After the underwhelming Trash and About Time, he teams up as writer with equally in need of a hit director Danny Boyle, who returned to the Trainspotting franchise with T2 after failing to set the box office alight with Trance and Steve Jobs.
That high concept in full: a struggling singer-songwriter (Eastenders star Himesh Patel) wakes up after a mysterious global blackout to find himself in a world where the Beatles never existed. Naturally, he takes credit for all their songs and becoems a huge star. Expect a ‘careful what you wish’ for twist. Oh, and an exciting cameo by Ed Sheeran.
The Curzon’s outdoor screening takes place at Salthouse Fields, where you’ll find a pop-up bar, courtesy of the Salthouse Pub, gourmet fish’n’chips, and Hector the coffee van. There will also be plenty of fund-raising for the cinema’s ‘Fix Our Roof’ fund, so take plenty of coins (and notes) to chuck in the bucket. Go here for further information
