EATEN BY LIONS, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed British comedy feature which was released in cinemas last month, is coming to Ilkley in May for special Q&A screenings with Britain’s Got Talent’s Jack Carroll, who stars in the film.

There will be two screenings at Ilkley Cinema on May 10 at 5pm and 8pm. Tickets are on sale now.

Winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Film at the London Indian Film Festival 2018, Eaten By Lions stars some of Britain’s best-loved comedians alongside budding British acting talent including Screen International’s 2018 ‘Star of Tomorrow’ Antonio Aakeel (City of Tiny Lights, Tomb Raider), BAFTA and Emmy award-winning Asim Chaudhry (Black Mirror, People Just Do Nothing), Britain’s Got Talent’s Jack Carroll, Johnny Vegas (Still Open All Hours, Benidorm), Kevin Eldon (Game of Thrones, Hot Fuzz), Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, Camping) and Hayley Tamaddon (Coronation Street, Emmerdale).

Eaten by Lions tells the heart-warming story of half-brothers Omar (Antonio Aakeel) and Pete (Jack Carroll), who were raised by their Grandma after their parents were tragically killed by lions in a bizarre accident.

When their beloved Gran passes away, they embark on a life-changing journey to find Omar’s birth father. What follows is a funny and touching journey of self-discovery for both boys...in Blackpool.

The Choudray family represent a truly contemporary example of modern multicultural Britain, but what will the brothers make of their eccentric newfound family?

Eaten By Lions Q&A screenings with Jack Carroll take place at Ilkley Cinema on Friday May 10th at 5pm and 8pm.
