The Omen and The Shining will be projected onto the world’s largest cinema screen this Halloween at Pinewood Studios’ Drive-In.For its special winter series of Drive-In movies, Pinewood has temporarily transformed its unique outdoor water filming facility into the world’s largest cinema screen, sized 73.1M wide x 18.3M in height.
Shot at Pinewood’s sister studio Shepperton with a raw, Brit Gothic feel, a US ambassador (Gregory Peck) discovers his son Damian is the antichrist in The Omen. This chilling thriller is so sinister, it is said the production fell victim to a curse due to supernatural forces at work trying to halt filming. Prominent crew members endured flights struck by lightning, a hotel bombing and a severe car crash amongst other shocking incidents.
One of the few genuinely atmospheric horror films staged partly at Pinewood, Jack Nicholson plays the terrifying recovering alcoholic Jack Torrence who takes his family to an isolated, evil hotel for the winter in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Heeeeere’s Johnny, bigger and scarier than ever before...From The Bourne Ultimatum to Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Mamma Mia! to Superman, Pinewood and its sister studio Shepperton have helped create each film in the Drive-In series. Other titles being shown include Bridget Jones’ Diary, Slumdog Millionaire, Gladiator, Dr Strangelove and Batman Begins.
