SEE THE AGE OF STUPID AT 'GREEN CARPET' SCREENING

Vue Cinemas at Star City is going to play a role in hosting what organisers hope will be the world's largest film premiere.

Climate change film The Age of Stupid will be screened in a solar cinema tent in London's Leicester Square on Sunday.

And Vue will be the first multiplex to have a live satellite link so that audiences around the country can all enjoy this unique environmental film together.

The Age of Stupid is set in 2055, and the world has been devastated by climate change.

Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite plays a man living alone, who narrates the film around the central question - "why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?" while looking at archived TV footage from 2008.

Directed by Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and produced by Oscar-winning John Battsek (One Day in September), the £450,000 budget for the film was raised entirely by "crowd-funding".

Postlethwaite will arrive at the West End premiere in a special solar car, provided by Cambridge University's Eco Racing Team.

He will be joined on the "green" carpet by a glittering array of British talent, all lending their support to the film.

The event will also support "Not Stupid"; a campaign to build awareness around climate change that has been established by the film's director Franny Armstrong.

From 5.30pm on Sunday, March 15, Vue audiences will get the opportunity to see the green carpet arrivals, watch the film from 6pm and then see the post-film Q&A from 7.30pm via a live satellite link-up.

Tickets are £10 each. They can can be purchased online from www.myvue.com or by phone via 08712 240 240 or directly from box offices at participating cinemas.

The Age of Stupid is being released nationwide on March 20.
