But will this be enough to save The Lyric?” 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. “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. 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. “It’s down to Liz Evans, hairdresser and linchpin to the local community, to stand up for the ailing cinema and stop the bulldozers. 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. The official synopsis reads: “The sleepy town of Carmarthen in Wales is not exactly the first place to spring to mind when thinking of Hollywood blockbusters. They’re joined by Adeel Akhtar ( Les Miserables), 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). Samantha Morton ( Harlots) leads the cast as hairdresser and linchpin in her local community, Liz Evans, alongside Tom Felton ( Harry Potter) and Jonathan Pryce ( The Two Popes). Save the Cinema is described as a “feel-good story” based on the efforts of one woman bringing together a community to save the local cinema. Set in a small town in Wales in 1993, the inspiring new movie is based in extraordinary real-life events. A first trailer has been released for Save the Cinema.
