7th LOCO London Comedy Film Festival 2019
Today sees the launch of the 7th LOCO London Comedy Film Festival 2019 which welcomes the festival’s most exciting programme yet. Taking place Thursday to Sunday, 11-14th July at the BFI, this year’s festival promises to feature some of the funniest films on screen alongside a riotous shorts programme, LOCO masterclasses with special guests, industry events and training, on top of a 30th Anniversary screening of the rom-com classic When Harry Met Sally, Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher, on Saturday 13th July.
This year’s festival will open with Dominic Brigstocke’s World Premiere of Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans starring Craig Roberts, Kim Cattrall, Nick Frost, Kate Nash and Derek Jacobi. Atti (Sebastian Croft) is a Roman teenager with ‘Atti-tude’, a smart kid who likes to bend the rules. When one of his schemes (selling horse wee as gladiator sweat) falls foul of Emperor Nero (Craig Roberts), Atti is forced to join the army and is sent to miserable, cold, wet Britannia. There the natives are revolting, quite literally, as Boudicca (Kate Nash), Queen of the Iceni tribe, takes on the might of Rome.
Rocketman (2019) Review
Rocketman is a look into the breakthrough and creation of Elton John from Reggie Dwight. We are taken on an emotional journey about how he became one of the most famous musicians in the world.
Teen Spirit (2018) Review
Violet is a shy teenager who dreams of being a singer and this has never really happened to anyone from the Isle of Wight before as she is chasing the dream to get to London via talent show Teen Spirit. Going from the local competition to more National it will test her resilience and push her to the limits.
Tolkien (2019) Review
Looking into the early life of J. R. R. Tolkien and the experiences which could have inspired and influenced his truly unique and incredible writing. In particular The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) Review
Liz Kendall made a very brave decision when it came to her longterm boyfriend Ted Bundy, when many murders were being reported in the 1970s. This leads to a crazy courtroom as Bundy attempts to defend himself whilst denying every single charge.
Poster: Judy (2019)
As you are probably already aware I adore musicals and Judy Garland is in one of my all time favourite films. That being A Star is Born. Along with that Renee Zellweger is also in one of my all time favourites Chicago, which is a musical as well.
So Renee Zellweger as Judy Garland in the up and coming film Judy is something that excites me. Then we get this poster which is just absolutely gorgeous!
Due for release in the UK in October 2019.
