Vue cinemas to screen new climate change movie

On Sunday 15th March participating Vue cinemas across the country will be screening The Age of Stupid; a post-apocalyptic tale set in 2055, after the world has been devastated by climate change.

Kicking off at 5:30pm, there will be a live satellite feed from the green carpet in London's Leicester Square where the film will be shown in a solar cinema tent. Oscar nominated Pete Postlethwaite, who stars in The Age of Stupid, will be arriving by a special solar car provided by Cambridge University's Eco Racing Team. Vue customers will be shown the arrivals as well as a post-film Q&A session, creating a "People's Premiere" experience. The event will also support "Not Stupid"; a campaign to build awareness around climate change that has been established by the film's director Franny Armstrong.

In The Age of Stupid is set in 2055, Postlethwaite plays a man living alone, who narrates the film around the central question - "why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?" while looking at archived TV footage from 2008. Directed by Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and produced by Oscar-winning John Battsek (One Day in September)

Tickets are priced at £10 each which can be purchased now online from www.myvue.com or by phone via 08712 240 240 or directly from box offices at participating cinemas.

The Age of Stupid is released nationwide on March 20th 2009.
