For the last few years THN have spent many an afternoon watching some of the best films, thanks to Pop-Up Screens and so we highly recommend their 2014 Season and have got all the details below for you. Picture the scene… sunny summer evening, cold beer in one hand, tasty burger in the other, your favourite classic movie on a big screen, surrounded by friends. Sounds like the stuff dreams are made of doesn’t it?
The pioneers of outdoor cinema, Pop Up Screens are back this summer to turn your movie dreams into reality, beaming all your favorite films directly into your local London parks. There’s something for everyone. If you’re after romance there’s The Notebook or Romeo + Juliet, if you fancy escaping with some fantasy you could try the Labyrinth, feeling up for some action go for Blade or if you’re just looking for a laugh Dumb & Dumber or Anchorman are the ones for you. There’s also the likes of The Royal Tenenbaums, Jurassic Park, Shaun of the Dead, Ghostbusters and more!
Throughout the summer, the super size screen will visit some of the capitals best-loved parks, including Morden, Fulham, Blackheath, Hammersmith, Holborn and Greenwich, with screenings kicking off around 8.30pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.popupscreens.co.uk for £10, or a weekender pass to see all three films at any one location will set you back £24, with a bumper Season Ticket available for only £75– that’s all 33 films for a little over £2 a movie.
As well as satisfying any cravings for cult classics, this year Pop Up Screens will also be serving up bespoke Pop Up Burgers. The full details are currently under wraps, but we can guarantee they’ll be tasty and include a pun or two! It goes without saying there’ll also be a fully stocked bar and it just wouldn’t be cinema without Drum & Kernel popcorn and sweets. Pop Up Screens founder David Leydon, who’s a lovely chap, had this to say:
“If you’ve never been to an outdoor cinema, you should, it’s a must try. I know it sounds like a bit of a sales pitch, but it really is the best way to watch a movie as you’re in a park, with your friends and hundreds of other people that love that movie as much as you do. And that real love for the movie creates a special atmosphere you won’t find at any multiplex.”
