They are rollin' 'em out - films for November at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre
New releases and classic movies are joined by music, documentaries, and a one-off treat for Doctor Who fans on the big screen at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre next month.
Film programmer, Steve Carley, said: “November gives us a packed itinerary of wonderful titles, including the pick of contemporary releases.
“For audiences fascinated by the stories behind the movies, new film I Play Rocky tells the story of Sylvester Stallone’s battle to create the Hollywood icon and offers a particularly rewarding companion to our 50th-anniversary restoration screenings of the 1976 film itself.
"There is a must-see for devoted Whoviansm – a one-night-only screening celebrating two decades of the 10th Doctor and Rose Tyler era – Doctor Who: The Satan Pit.
