They also invite you for a girly gossip over cocktails in the foyer to celebrate the opening of Sex and the City on the big screen! Read through for new releases, competition details and stunning offers. Odeon Whiteleys have caught the Whiteleys makeover buzz too. A brand new, all bigger all-brighter ODEON Whiteleys will be yours to enjoy come this summer. Watch this space for bigger screens and a re-modelled foyer, digital and 3D performances, all coming soon to enhance your cinema experience and give Bayswater the fantastic cinema it deserves.
Do you remember the first time you watched a DVD? Well, the digital experience isn’t confined to your TV anymore. Its bigger, better and waiting for you to be blown away here at ODEON Whiteleys with perfect sound and images of a breathtaking depth and quality. Digital cinema has also enabled the next revolution in the film experience – 3D. No more clunky (and embarrassing) bi-coloured paper spectacles. The new 3D experience – RealD – involves just a pair of what look like sunglasses. The left and right lenses are polarised at slightly different angles to give the differentiation essential to turn 2D images into something that will make you want to duck as it leaps out at you! We’ve already seen two roaring successes this year with Hannah Montana and U23D and hope to bring to you all the advantages of this technology – films, concerts and even sports coverage! Up and coming titles like Journey to the Centre Of the Earth, starring Brendan Fraser and released July 2008, will show the all new possibilities of this medium, as well as being a thoroughly exciting title in its own right. Watch out for the ODEON digital logo next to listings or ask a member of our team for details.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Mutt: ‘You’re a… teacher?!’ It’s now 12 years on. Indy is enjoying a quiet life teaching when (we think) his old flame Marian Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Arc turns up with (we think) a son in tow. His name's Mutt - which could be a play on Indy's name that we know comes from the Jones’ family dog. Could Mutt be Indy's son? WE DON'T KNOW! The only other snippets of info we have sniffed out are: Indy will be battling commies this time round, not Nazis. He’ll be helped (or possibly hindered, we don’t know) by an old friend Mac, played by Ray Winstone; and John Hurt, who may or may not be playing Abner Ravenwood, Indy’s mentor and Marian’s father who was thought to have died before the first film. Somehow a crystal skull enters the mix, how and to what purpose is a closely guarded secret – but you can see a real Crystal Skull in the British Museum - claimed to be of Aztec origin. No one can say for sure who made them: an advanced Mayan civilisation unknown to us, mysterious higher powers, 19th century European jewellers or even aliens! Claims have been made of the Skull’s healing powers and the most famous skull, the Mitchell-Hedges skull was supposed to have brought DOOM to any who touched it. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas hope to recreate the freshness & excitement of the previous films – and a part of that experience will be us not knowing what to expect, but we just can’t help wondering… So we at ODEON Whiteleys would like to invite you to write in with your own ideas of what Indy 4 will be about – the writers of the best, closest and funniest plot lines will be invited to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as our own personal guests for free, and quite apart from what really happens in the film we may have a few surprises for the winners in store too…
Please clearly mark as ‘INDY COMPETITION” and address all entries to: Sex and the City. Release Date: 30th May 2008
‘Big: ‘Shall we get you a big diamond?
We’re all big fans of both the TV series and of course, all things fabulous. So to celebrate the opening of this film we’d like to offer our guests the chance to relax in our atrium bar, which will be packed with more than a few surprises for the opening night. As the film exults in friendship so do we – to the extent that any group of friends buying 4 or more tickets together can enjoy free drinks whilst looking fabulous above the masses on our balcony - and we’ll have luscious cocktails at prices any gal can afford. |
All hail a magical May for movies! ODEON Whiteleys are calling all fanatical film-goers to join the film-set and write your own script for the new Indiana Jones epic.
This production is surrounded by a veil of absolute secrecy but here's what we know so far and what we've guessed…
Carrie Bradshaw continues to narrate the story of her and her friends’ obsession with love, sex and fashion in New York City. We join them 4 years on from the end of the hit TV series, and as we’ve seen from the trailer – Carrie may well be getting carried away with her wedding to Mr Big, Charlotte’s long awaited pregnancy and various shenanigans of an illicit nature from Miranda and Samantha.
As the newly formed Marvel studios first major release, everyone here is hugely excited about the up-and-coming Iron Man film for two reasons; Iron Man is awesome – there’s no other suitable word for this tooled up man of metal, and Robert Downey Jr is quite possibly the coolest man on the planet.
Do you remember the Japanese anime Speed Racer? This iconic series known as Mach 5 Go! Go! Go! in Japan has been adapted for this live action film from the Wachowski brothers, the same team that brought The Matrix trilogy and V for Vendetta to the big screen.
Anything can happen on Nim’s Island, a magical place ruled by a young girl’s imagination. It’s an existence much like that of her hero, Alex Rover – a literary character written as the world’s greatest hero by Alexandra Rover, played by Jodie Foster.
Starring Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monahan as two singles who have enjoyed an platonic friendship for 10 years. He’s a serial dater while she wants to marry but just hasn’t found Mr Right yet. Just as Tom (Dempsey) comes round to the idea of a long term relationship and possibly marriage, Claire (Monahan) gets engaged. Of course this makes Tom realise what a fool he’s been and when she asks Tom to be her maid of honour he reluctantly agrees just so he can stop her marrying the wrong man and woo her himself.
What happens in Vegas - stays in Vegas. Unless you get drunk and wake up the next morning married to a complete stranger!
Doomsday is the new all-British sci-fi horror brought to us by director Neil Marshall, the man behind The Descent and Dog Soldiers. Inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max and Escape from New York, Doomsday takes place in a post-apocalyptic Britain ravaged by a terrifying plague called the Reaper Virus. Everyone in Scotland is long been presumed dead and Hadrian’s Wall has been rebuilt to quarantine the whole country. Rhona Mitra stars as the heroine who leads a team to seek survivors and hopefully find a cure in the inhospitable north when the virus emerges in the presumed safe haven of England.
