Free comic book treat for fans who book special screening of Superman at Livingston cinema
Superhero fans in West Lothian will receive a comic book treat as the most powerful man on planet earth returns to the silver screen.
Tickets are on sale for an exclusive screening of the highly anticipated relaunch of Superman at Vue Livingston – with fans who book the slot taking home a very special piece of comic book history.
Taking place during the film's opening weekend, on Friday, July 11, there will be just one Superman Hero Screening at Vue Livingston and every booking for the limited screening will come with a copy of All Star Superman No.1 - the comic that inspired James Gunn's new take on the Man of Steel - to pick up on the day.
The film introduces David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, alongside a whole new roster of DC characters. The latest superhero outing has fans excited for what is set to be a bold new take on the franchise – with Superman as you've never seen him before.
Andrew Dykes, General Manager at Vue Livingston, said: 'We know how excited audiences are for James Gunn's interpretation of Superman. This exclusive screening gives fans the rare opportunity to take home a special piece of cinematic history - the very comic issue that helped shape the film's story.'
The All Star Superman No.1 giveaway is one comic per booking – not per ticket – and only applies to tickets purchased for the Superman Hero Screening on July 11.
For the avoidance of doubt this does not apply to Superman screenings without the 'Hero Screening' tag.

Superman actor hopes to bring hero to a new generation
David Corenswet, who stars as the eponymous hero in the upcoming reboot of the same name, also told of the experience of making the character 'his own', at a red carpet event in Leicester Square on Wednesday.

'I wish I could just give the great performances that have come before, but I couldn't help but do my own thing. 'So much of (the history) is already in the character and people's knowledge and love of the character. 'So that sort of came for free, and I just had the great opportunity to maybe explore some different forms of the character and hopefully bring him to a new generation who maybe haven't had their first Superman experience.' He joked that he didn't have big shoes to fill as his were custom-made, so they 'fit like a glove'. The James Gunn-directed remake, described as 'the true beginning of the DC Universe', sees Twisters actor Corenswet protecting Earth from Nicholas Hoult's scheming Lex Luthor. Gunn, a self-confessed DC Comics superfan, co-chief executive of DC Studios and writer of the reboot, said he has brought his favourite elements of the comics into the 21st century – including superhero dog Krypto. 'This is really about presenting the Superman to the world that I love and have loved since I was a kid,' Gunn told PA. The Marvellous Mrs Maisel actress Rachel Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane, and her romantic connection with Clark Kent has been teased in a trailer in which they stare at each other in the Daily Planet newspaper offices, and later embrace. Brosnahan said filming with her co-stars and Gunn was 'a blast'. She said: '(The film) gave us the opportunity to deepen the relationship between Lane and Kent and explore more deeply this relationship that you've come to know in the comics for so many years.' On playing a reporter, the 34-year-old said: 'I have a whole new appreciation and, also, I'm on to your tips and tricks.' Director James Gunn said the film was about presenting Superman to the world that he loves (Lucy North/PA) Gunn, famed for Marvel film series Guardians Of The Galaxy and DC Comics movie The Suicide Squad, said he is excited for fans to see the personal interactions between Lane and Kent. He added: 'I'm excited for every piece of it, and it makes me it really warms my heart that all of these people are so excited to be here.' British actor Hoult plays Superman's nemesis and the chief executive of the LuthorCorp, and the film also stars several DC superheroes, including Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), a Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). It will be released in UK cinemas on July 11 by Warner Bros Pictures.

'Superman' returns to screens with 'kindness, flying dogs and space battles'
LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - Donning the famous red cape for the first time in the new "Superman" movie gave actor David Corenswet a big confidence boost. A relative newcomer, Corenswet follows in the footsteps of Christopher Reeve and more recently Henry Cavill, taking over the role of Clark Kent and Superman in the reboot movie, which was launched with a red carpet fan event in London on Wednesday. "When the cape gets on, it really ties the whole thing together. You walk out with it flowing behind you, you feel like, 'Yeah, I'm all right, I'll do okay'," Corenswet, whose acting credits include TV series "The Politician" and "Hollywood" and films "Twisters" and "Pearl", said on the red carpet. "Superman" offers the first look at director James Gunn's vision for the remake of the DC Universe (DCU) at Warner Bros (WBD.O), opens new tab. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" filmmaker, who also wrote the "Superman" screenplay, said he wanted to combine elements from the comic books and the mythos of Superman in cinema. "My 'Superman' is about, you know, in a world where there's so much meanness and so many petty things happening, Superman, who can often be seen as old-fashioned or too earnest, too kind, he is those things. I think that's the most rebellious thing that you can be in this day and age," Gunn said. "It's a movie about kindness. But it's all told in this universe with giant monsters and flying dogs and robots and space battles and everything else." "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" actress Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of Lois Lane and "Nosferatu", "About a Boy" and "X-Men" franchise actor Nicholas Hoult stars as Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor. Hoult also drew inspiration from comic books for his portrayal of the iconic villain. "For instance, reading 'All-Star Superman', Lex really prides himself on being the peak alpha human, and so I really wanted to bring that kind of energy," Hoult said. Brosnahan said her predecessors in the role had set the bar high. Gunn's vision for the movie was what set it aside from previous films, she said. "I think James's knowledge of and love for these characters and the different adventures that he's taking them on with the different friends he's taking them with, kind of inherently brings it into present day," said Brosnahan. "Superman" begins its global cinematic rollout on July 9.

The funniest comedy movie of all-time is returning to theaters this weekend
Comedy fans, turn your excitement to 11 and drummers prepare for spontaneous combustion: This Is Spinal Tap is coming back to theaters. The 1984 mockumentary, directed by Rob Reiner and starring Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer as the eponymous fictional hard-rock band, is being re-released this weekend in a 4K restoration in celebration of the movie's 41st anniversary. It's also a precursor to the long-awaited sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. A send-up of 1980s rock 'n' roll excess, This Is Spinal Tap was a modest success upon release but has since become one of the most celebrated comedy movies of all-time. It currently sits atop Time Out's list of the greatest comedy films ever made, and comes in at No. 78 on our ranking of the 100 best movies ever. 'Sporting arguably the most quotable script in movie history,' we wrote, 'and some of the meatiest metal melodies this side of Bon Scott-era AC/DC, this is simply a perfect film: from the first chord of Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight to the very final line ('I dunno, what are the hours?'), there's literally nothing about it that could be improved.' The restored and remastered version plays in theaters across America for a brief run, July 5-7. As for the sequel, Reiner, along with all the main cast members, are returning to chart the run-up to the band's farewell concert, which we're sure will go off without a hitch. Announced cameos include Elton John, Paul McCartney and Garth Brooks. It's set for worldwide release on September 12.
