The Age of Stupid is the new movie from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and producer John Battsek (One Day in September). Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance? The opening weekend of the 20th, 21st and 22nd of March is monstrously important to the whole future of The Age of Stupid.

The length and breadth of the UK theatrical run will literally be determined by the number of bums on seats in cinemas during this opening weekend. The box-office success of these three days is crucial to the overall success of everything that happens after this point; overseas cinema groups, TV deals and DVD distribution will all take their lead from what happens during this pivotal weekend.

Please go on at least one of these days - and take ten friends along with you too. It's really impossible to overstate how much depends on these 72 short hours.
