The Cameo, Edinburgh will host a Q&A preview screening of ‘Free Fire’, courtesy of the film distributors StudioCanal UK, at 8.30pm tomorrow 28 February 2017.
Ben Wheatley, director and co-writer of the film will attend the event as part of a preview tour of the UK and Ireland, and will be accompanied by special guests from the members of the cast and crew.
An action comedy film, ‘Free Fire’ takes place in a warehouse where a gang of criminals have met to trade arms. Unfortunately, the plan deteriorates when an argument starts and descends into a shoot-out between the two groups.
‘Free Fire’ features Brie Larson, in her first post-Oscar winning role, Sharlto Copley, Armie Hammer and Cillian Murphy in an ensemble cast and backed by Executive producer Martin Scorsese.
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival during autumn 2016.

The Cameo is one of the oldest operating cinemas in Scotland. With over a century of history, it opened for business as the King’s Cinema on 8 January 1914.
An important venue for the Edinburgh International Film Festival beginning in 1949, when it officially became The Cameo, the cinema has a proud tradition of screening arthouse projects.
Now owned by Cineworld Group plc under the Picturehouse Cinemas chain as the only one of its outlets in Scotland, this independent cinema has had three screens for 25 years this year.
Many cinemas like The Cameo existed across Scotland at one time or another, but with its original architecture mostly intact, this building is the only one left trading.
Oscar winners Danny Boyle, Orson Welles, Charlize Theron, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu have all visited The Cameo during its lifetime
‘Free Fire’ will be released in cinemas in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2017.
