Rotary Luxembourg is organising its 4th annual Special Screening avant-premier of the highly-anticipated The Jungle Book live action film on Sunday 17 April 2016 at 10:30 at both Utopolis-Kirchberg (EN, FR, DE) and Utopolis-Belval (FR, DE); just a few tickes are remaining for this hugely popular charity event.
Proceeds from the screenings (€7 per ticket) will go towards their Espoir-En-Tete charity initiative which involves supporting brain research in Luxembourg. In 2015 more than 3,000 spectators attended the screening of Disney's Cinderella on Sunday 15 March 2015 in no less than 13 screening rooms. The 2014 screening was Saving Mr. Banks, with The fantastic world of Oz in 2013. The 2015 donation of €25,000 went to support the activities of experimental laboratories at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) to buy new equipment (Mx3005P QPCR System 230V) to be used to measure the activity of genes in biological samples - this instrument is used mainly in research on Parkinson's disease.
Synopsis: An orphan boy is raised in the jungle with the help of a pack of wolves, a bear, and a black panther.
Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man; Cowboys & Aliens; Elf) and starring Scarlett Johansson (Girl with a Pearl Earring; Lost in Translation; Avengers Assemble; Captain America: The Winter Soldier; The Prestige; Her), Idris Elba (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom; Pacific Rim; Thor; Avengers: Age of Ultron), Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave; Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens; Non-Stop), Bill Murray (Lost in Translation; Hyde Park on Hudson; Ghost Busters; Groundhog Day), Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter; Catch Me If You Can; Pulp Fiction; Jersey Boys).
