Vue Edinburgh invites film fans to head back to 1999 this summer

With mind-boggling sci-fis, classic teen comedies and animated favourites heading back to the big screen, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy.

Ahead of its time and spawning not one but three sequels, The Matrix will be returning from June 8. The brainchild of the Wachowskis, it’s hard to believe we were first introduced to Neo and his followers 25 years ago.

Another blockbuster (sand)storming back onto the big screen this summer is The Mummy. Arriving from July 6, travel back to 1920s Egypt as English librarian Evie, her trickster brother Jonathan and hunky guide Rick accidently unleash a curse which had been laid on the dead High Priest Imhotep for centuries.

The Matrix returns to Vue this summer.

Arguably one of the most quotable films in movie history, American Pie is also celebrating its 25th birthday this year. The ultimate teen movie, starring the iconic Jennifer Coolidge as Stiffler’s mum, will be gracing Vue from July 19.

One for the family, Toy Story 2 will be flying back onto screens from July 20. In Pixar’s classic sequel Buzz and his friends vow to rescue Woody, who finds himself stolen by a toy collector, only to discover the idea of immortality in a museum tempting...

Also returning to the big screen will be sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest (from June 21) starring Sigourney Weaver, classic rom-com She’s All That (from June 29) starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and action thriller Deep Blue Sea (from July 26) starring Samuel L Jackson.

Toby Bradon, general manager at Vue UK & Ireland, said: “Here at Vue we pride ourselves on screening so much more than just blockbusters, as our latest Back on the Big Screen season shows. It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since these classic films were first released. We’re thrilled to be sharing them on the big screen, the way they were meant to be seen.”
