Cineworld put on a special ‘secret’ screening last night for their Unlimted Card members, showing a preview of a secret new film. It wasn’t Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because there’s no way Disney would let them show the biggest film of the century a day before the premiere.
The explicitly stated it wouldn’t be Star Wars
That didn’t stop loads of people turning up think it would be Star Wars
It was actually Heart Of The Sea, the new Chris Hemsworth/ Ron Howard joint, a period epic about whale hunting. It’s pretty good, by all accounts. But it’s not Star Wars.
And people were pissed.
Props to Nathanael Smith for noticing all this on Twitter.
