Screening of the 1976 film Rocky in its 50th-anniversary restoration at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
Rocky is back on the big screen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Thursday 26 November, as part of its 50th-anniversary restoration. It's the 1976 original, the one that turned Sylvester Stallone into a household name, and it's being shown in a fresh print that brings it back to how it looked when it first hit cinemas.
Film programmer Steve Carley frames this screening as a rewarding companion to I Play Rocky, the new film that tells the story of Stallone's battle to create the Hollywood icon. If you've seen the new one, this is the original it's built around; if you haven't, the two together give you the story of the film and the struggle that went into making it. The restoration is rated 12A, so it's one you can bring the younger ones along to if you're introducing them to it for the first time.
It's not the only thing on the programme at the moment. The Stephen Joseph Theatre is also staging a one-night-only showing of Doctor Who: The Satan Pit, marking 20 years of the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, and Rose Tyler, Billie Piper. If you're a Whovian, that's another date to keep in mind alongside this one.
