Due to the particular 2.76:1 picture ratio chosen by director Danny Boyle, 27 YEARS LATER has been assigned its own special 🎆 Projector lens 📽️ in Screen 1 at @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social. Along with our drop down masking, this ensures the film image will be concentrated & entirely black bar free.

“In an era of breadlines, depression and wars, I tried to help people get away from all the misery . . . to turn their minds to something else. I wanted to make people happy, if only for an hour.”
My film worker dad, John Markey, & me on a visit to the set of KUNG FU DEADLY, a Kung Fu supernatural comedy now filming in Dublin based on my screenplay. My dad has doubled for #JohnHurt, #GeoffreyRush, and got punched by #SeanConnery (though not at the same time). @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social
