Stars to attend opening of new Sheffield drive-in cinema for city snooker movie

The Don Valley Bowl will be the setting for the city’s first screening of Break, a snooker-themed movie filmed at the Crucible Theatre, as well as a host of other classic movies.

The heart-warming UK thriller was due to be released in April, but due to Covid-19 it was pushed back and is now being rolled out across UK drive-ins.

Producer and actress Terri Dwyer said: “Being an independent film, we were hugely affected by Covid-19. We didn’t know when or where we could release our film. After 10 years of hard work we wanted to give the film a release it deserved. We had to be in Sheffield to coincide with the World Snooker Finals and we thought an open-air drive-in at Don Valley would be the perfect place to host our event.“

Break stars Jamie Foreman, BAFTA winner Adam Deacon, TV sensations Terri Dwyer and Sam Gittins, international actor David Yip, and the late Hollywood legend Rutger Hauer in his final screen role. The film also features appearances by British snooker star Jack Lisowski, Chinese sensation Liang Wenbo and World Snooker Champion Ken Doherty.

Also showing will be Disney’s Up, Tim Burton’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Grease, Black Beauty, Dolittle and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
