Big Friendly Giant coming to thrill Campbeltow­n

-

THE BIG-SCREEN production of Roald Dahl’s much-loved BFG will fill the screen at this weekend’s cinema showings.

The screenings also include Pixar’s Finding Dory, the outrageous Suicide Squad, outer space adventure in Star Trek Beyond and the thrilling return of Matt Damon as Jason Bourne.

Roald Dahl’s exciting tale of the young orphan and the Big Friendly Giant is brought to life by Steven Spielberg. Naturally scared at first, Sophie soon realises the BFG is quite gentle and charming, not like the other evil human-eating giants in Giant Country, including Bloodbottl­er and Fleshlumpe­ater.

Finding Dory takes viewers back to the beautiful underwater world of Pixar’s Oscar-winning Finding

Nemo. Forgetful Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, finally remembers something; her long-lost family. It is time for an epic adventure to find them.

In Suicide Squad a team of out of control super villains are brought together for a top-secret government mission when all other superheroe­s are otherwise engaged.

What could possibly go wrong?

If they succeed, they get a deal on their prison sentences. If they fail, who cares, they’re baddies anyway. Star Trek Beyond

sees the crew of the USS Enterprise boldly going ever further in their mission to explore uncharted space. Taking an exciting new direction to mark its 50th anniversar­y,

director Justin Lin takes the helm whilst Simon Pegg co-writes the script.

When the Enterprise comes under attack from a deadly new enemy Krall, the entire crew is plunged into another nail-biting battle for survival.

Years ago, Jason Bourne dismantled the Treadstone programme and brought those in charge to justice. Then he disappeare­d. Now the world is at war and it needs the perfect weapon: the amnesiac assassin steps out of the shadows in the latest instalment of the smash-hit action franchise.

Bourne is led to ever-more important revelation­s about his identity in this relentless­ly exciting return, with director Paul Greengrass and an all-start cast including Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Tommy Lee Jones and Vincent Cassell.
