Film programme revealed for Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre for July - includes Emma Thompson's sexy new movie

The theatre's film programmer Steve Carley said: “Elvis is in the building in July, with Baz Luhrmann’s biopic of the King of Rock ‘n Roll himself. We also have the inimitable Emma Thompson in a sex-positive tale of empowerment and self-discovery, and for classic children’s literature lovers, there are modern takes on Peter Pan and The Railway Children.

"There’s also the latest titles in our World Cinema strand, and a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure. Plus our usual dementia-friendly classic film, the latest from NT Live, and a special 100-year anniversary screening of Nosferatu, with live scoring from Sound of Scarborough. Plenty to ‘sink our teeth’ into!”
