Special screening of new Superman movie at Stirling cinema
Film-goers who book a slot for the Stirling showing next month will also take home a piece of comic book history. Tickets are on sale for an exclusive Superman screening at Vue Stirling - with fans in for a treat to take home. To mark the arrival of the highly anticipated relaunch of Superman, Vue is holding a screening of the film – with those who book the slot taking home a 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 Stirling 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. Tickets for the screening are available to book now - however the offer will only be available while stocks last. The film introduces David Corenswet as Clark Kent ( Pearl and Hollywood) and Rachel Brosnahan ( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane, alongside a whole new roster of DC characters. The latest superhero outing has fans excited for what is expected bold new take on the franchise – with Superman as you've never seen him before. The epic is the first major release in the new DC Universe being overseen by Marvel's former Guardians of the Galaxy visionary, James Gunn. The film explores Clark Ken/Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his adoptive human family in Smallville, Kansas. Jordan Russell, General Manager at Vue Stirling, 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. For full Ts&Cs, take a look here.

Rhyl's multi-screen cinema to reopen in latest boost for seaside town
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Rhyl's multi-screen cinema is set to reopen as the embattled seaside town shows early signs of a revival. The town has suffered a tough few years with the closure of the Vue cinema on the seafront, as well as losing the SeaQuarium and the failure of the Skyflyer to take-off. This was compounded by storm damage closing the SC2 waterpark. But this week came the news it would reopen next month. The town is also set to benefit from a £20m UK Government investment in the resort - with a board set up to decide how that should be spent. The Queen's Market Food Hall and Event space will also open in July. Now independent national cinema operator, Merlin Cinemas have announced they will take over the closed five-screen cinema, subject to completing lease arrangements with Denbighshire County Council, who own the site. The Cornwall-based independent operator has 21 other cinemas across the UK, including the Scala at Prestatyn. The company has a reputation for operating historic cinemas, as well as repurposed and modern buildings as cinemas, in communities often overlooked or underserved by larger cinema companies. Following the closure of the cinema at the end of January, Denbighshire County Council said it has been "working hard" to attract an operator to the popular amenity on Rhyl's promenade. Councillor Jason McLellan, Leader of Denbighshire County Council and Lead Member for Economic Growth & Tackling Deprivation said: 'We're delighted to have Merlin on board to ensure that residents and visitors can enjoy a great day out in Rhyl. Once the lease is signed and Merlin have taken over, the cinema will play a pivotal role in the broader regeneration efforts in Rhyl town centre.' Merlin is working closely with the Council to complete and sign the lease and with suppliers to assess the work needed behind the scenes before it can reopen. They said they are committed to improving the cinema and enhancing the cinema experience for the local community. It may mean that the cinema reopens in phases. There will also be a new name, which is still under wraps. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox Merlin's Founder and Managing Director, Geoff Greaves, who was awarded an MBE for his outstanding contribution to the cinema industry, said: 'We're delighted to have been successful in our bid to operate this cinema. We're already familiar with the location because of our cinema four miles along the coast in Prestatyn, but when the opportunity came along, we jumped at the chance. "We are doing everything we can to get the doors open so that the town has a cinema again. We really believe that seeing a film at the cinema on the big screen with family or friends is a very different experience to watching it at home; it is more memorable, more sociable and offers a sense of occasion. We look forward to welcoming you back to your cinema very soon.' Councillor McLellan added: 'The cinema itself is in a great location opposite Queen's Market Food Hall and Event space, which will open on 10 July, therefore this is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting time for Rhyl. As a Council, we're delighted to have found an operator to take over the site so quickly and we're looking forward to working with Merlin to secure the success of the facility. 'When it opens, I urge residents to support the cinema as well as other leisure facilities in the town – we need everyone to be backing our businesses to ensure their continued success.'
