The Fantastic Four: First Steps (TBC)
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro- futuristic world, Marvel Studios' "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" introduces Marvel's First Family-Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. The action adventure also stars Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige and executive produced by Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis.
Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill: Live From Prague - The Movie (TBC)
Roger Waters, founding member and creative force behind the legendary Pink Floyd, brings to the screen his live show, Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill: Live From Prague - The Movie. Directed by Sean Evans and Roger Waters, the film combines iconic songs from his Pink Floyd days with those from his solo career, encompassing a timespan of sixty years. The show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect and share our precious and precarious planet home. Dedicated to "our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity", the movie is an extraordinary assault on the senses, not just musically and visually, but politically and philosophically as well. It captures performances of songs from some of the most influential albums of all time - The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, together with those from the most popular of Waters' solo career, including Amused To Death and Is This The Life We Really Want? Brought together with his band and crew, the show is majestic, with performances that are powerful yet controlled. The sense of control is emphasised by the 360° stage. It provides intimacy and allows the performers to play to all sections of the audience "in the round". With a rectangular centre with runways extending from each side, creating an elongated cross. Above it is a set of giant LED screens configured the same way. Made up of 12 surfaces, and totalling a huge 650 square meters, they project numerous images and messages that vividly and powerfully reinforce the meanings behind the songs. Because of the size and position of the screens, they can be seen throughout the arena and promote a high-energy production with maximum audience participation.
