This year’s BFI London Film Festival will close with the world premiere of Stan & Ollie.

The film stars John C Reilly and Steve Coogan as the comedic duo and is directed by Jon S Baird.

Stan & Ollie follows the pair’s journey around the UK and Ireland in what would become their triumphant farewell tour.

Despite the pressure of a hectic schedule, with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the pair’s love of performing, as well as love for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

It will screen in Leicester Square on Sunday 21st October and arrive in UK cinemas on 11th January.
