Sky today unveils a First Look image which sees the actress in the Sky Original film. Inspired by the extraordinary real-life events sparked by tenacious hairdresser Liz Evans (Morton), Save The Cinema illustrates how the resolve of a small Welsh town, inspired by the magic of cinema, was able to bring Tinseltown to their doorstep.
The sleepy town of Carmarthen in Wales is not exactly the first place to spring to mind when thinking of Hollywood blockbusters. But this changed in 1993 when the town council made the unwelcome announcement that The Lyric Theatre – the town’s much-loved but financially stricken cinema – would be demolished so a shopping centre could be built in its place.
It’s down to Liz Evans, hairdresser and linchpin to the local community, to stand up for the ailing cinema and stop the bulldozers. As she and her friends barricade themselves in the theatre, she reaches out to postman turned town councillor Richard (Tom Felton) for help – and they come up with a grand plan.
To revitalise the cinema and stop the council taking the heart of the community away, a desperate Liz persuades Richard to write to Hollywood to ask for a helping hand. One late night phone call later and one of Hollywood’s most legendary filmmakers throws The Lyric a monster-sized lifeline and a premiere Carmarthen will never forget. But will this be enough to save The Lyric?
As well as Samantha Morton, the film features an all-star cast also includes Tom Felton (Harry Potter), Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes), Adeel Akhtar (Enola Holmes), Erin Richards (Gotham), Owain Yeoman (Emergence), Susan Wokoma (Enola Holmes), Colm Meaney (Gangs Of London), Rhod Gilbert (Have I Got News For You) and Keith Allen (Kingsman: The Golden Circle).
Save The Cinema, a Sky Original will be released on Sky Cinema and in cinemas from 14 January 2022.

Liz Evans galvanised fellow town folk to stop their much-loved but financially-stricken cinema being demolished - and replaced by a shopping centre. Key to their rescue plan was to appeal to 75-year-old Spielberg. Overwhelmed by their love of the magic of films and by their sense of community, the movie director's production company threw them a lifeline by offering their town the chance to screen the Welsh premiere of his blockbuster Jurassic Park. Now a film of this real-life story is due to be released later this month, with critics saying it could prove to be the 'feelgood film of the year'. Ironically, the movie, Save The Cinema, could not come at a more crucial time for the film industry.

Some years ago. New at a City Firm of Solicitors. Person next to me was of Chinese heritage. One day, she told me that she had worked very hard on her use of English, and did her accent betray her roots.
I gleefully replied that, as soon as I heard her accent, I knew fine well where she was from, and she could not hide it.
I waited for her face to fall, and continued. I explained that anyone hearing her accent would know instantly that she was from Wales, and I was confident that it was South Wales, West of Cardiff, and would guess at Swansea.
It was Neath
