A Liverpool cinema is giving visitors the chance to experience a 10-hour Lord of the Rings movie marathon.
Showcase Cinema de Lux Liverpool is hosting a marathon event showing all three of Peter Jackson’s films back-to-back in 4K. The move comes ahead of the release of the much anticipated prequel series, The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, on September 2.
The event will take place across the nation on Bank Holiday Monday, August 29. First appearing on the big screen back in 2001, The Fellowship of the Ring introduced film fans to J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle Earth, becoming an instant cinematic classic.

The Two Towers and The Return of the King, released in 2002 and 2003 respectively, continued to tell the story of Frodo Baggins’ perilous journey to Mordor, alongside the fellowship, to destroy the one Ring.
Mark Barlow, UK general manager of Showcase Cinemas, said: “The Lord of the Rings trilogy is rightly considered as one of the greatest series of films in cinema history.
“We know that Lord of the Rings fanatics often sit down to watch all three movies back-to-back, but may have only done this at home. So we wanted to give them the opportunity to watch the legendary trilogy where they were intended to be seen - on the big screen.”
The epic 10-hour marathon will start at 11am on Monday, August 29 and tickets can be booked online at showcasecinemas.co.uk/film-info/middle-earth-marathon .
