Screenings of Travis Knight's darkly magical adventure 'Wildwood', the film behind 'Coraline', at Storyhouse Cinema.
Wildwood opens at Storyhouse Cinema on Wednesday 28 October, with screenings running through to Thursday 5 November. It's directed by Travis Knight, who's got a big cast on board: Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali and Awkwafina. The film is rated 12A and runs about 132 minutes.
It's described as a sweeping, darkly magical adventure from the makers of Coraline, and that gives you a fair idea of the tone. The story follows Prue McKeel, a headstrong teenager whose baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows. That sends her on a rescue mission into an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon, where she's joined by a hapless but loyal classmate. Together they navigate a world of bandits, talking animals and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition. If you're into that kind of dark, imaginative fantasy, this is right up that alley.
There are plenty of slots to choose from over the nine days, so you can fit it in whenever suits. Opening day on Wednesday 28 October has three: an 11am Parent & Baby screening, a 2pm with an over-60s discount and audio description, and an 8:15pm audio-described showing. Thursday 29 October has 2:30pm and 5:30pm (audio described); Friday 30 October is 3pm; Saturday 31 October is 12:30pm (audio described). Sunday 1 November is 7:30pm (audio described); Monday 2 November is 8pm (audio described); Tuesday 3 November is 6pm (audio described); Wednesday 4 November is 3:30pm; and Thursday 5 November is 3:30pm. Most of the later screenings are audio-described, so there's a good spread if that's what you need.
