GOOD Omens will be shown on the big screen as part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF).
The series is a new adaptation of the bestselling fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, directed by Douglas Mackinnon.
Starring David Tennant as a demon and Michael Sheen as an angel, it will launch worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on May 31 and on BBC 2 later this year.
Film festival audiences will be able to see all six episodes on the big screen on Saturday June 29, with special guests expected to attend.
This year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival features a “rich selection” of Scottish films, filmmakers, stars and films shot in Scotland.
EIFF artistic director Mark Adams said: “Edinburgh International Film Festival has a long history of supporting and showcasing the very best Scotland has to offer and 2019 will be no exception.
“I am thrilled to be able to give this year’s audiences the chance to enjoy a huge range of films, talks, events and talent that highlight the very best of Scottish craftsmanship and skill.”
The festival runs from June 19 to 30 and its full programme is to be announced next week.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
