'Land of the Dead' to preview at Somerset House
George A Romero's latest zombie opus will play as part of FilmFour's 'The Summer Screen' season next month.
Jul 20 2005
Somerset House is to be turned into a huge cinema next month when FilmFour brings its Summer Screen selection to the beautiful 18th-century venue.
Running from August 16-20, each evening will consist of early evening DJ sessions, copious amounts of food and drink and the best that Hollywood has to offer, blasted onto a 14m screen using a state-of-the-art projector.
And if that weren't enough, the season finishes with a special preview of George A Romero's 'Land of the Dead', screening a full four weeks before its nationwide UK release, and playing on a double bill with the equally brilliant British rom-zom-com 'Shaun of the Dead'.
The full line-up is as follows:
Tuesday 16 August
'Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Special Edition' (reviewed here)
Wednesday 17 August
'A Matter of Life and Death' (reviewed here)
Thursday 18 August
'Spirited Away' (reviewed here)
Friday 19 August
'Flash Gordon' (reviewed here)
Saturday 20 August
'Shaun of the Dead'/'Land of the Dead' double bill ('Shaun' reviewed here)
