Come and see Four Lions first with Mumbrella
Mumbrella is delighted to invite our Sydney and Melbourne readers to join us next week for a night of dark comedy about terrorism.
We’re holding free preview screenings of Four Lions, the Chris Morris-directed comedy about British suicide bombers.

Morris is one of the world’s most respected TV comedy makers having created the likes of The Day Today and Brass Eye. Among those who cite his influence is the team behind The Chaser, who met him during the Sydney Festival premiere of Four Lions.

We’ve not done a final tally on numbers, but I suspect we’ll be closing this one off in the next few hours.

I emailed as soon as I got your newsletter!
I hope i got my 2 tix!
Anyone got a reply on whether they have tix or not?
Hi Paul,
We should start sending out the good or bad news late today or tomorrow morning. We’re oversubscribed for Sydney and may still have a few spaces left in Melbourne.
Cheers,
Tim
Hey Tim,
Top Man, thanks for the update 🙂
Still nothing heard from my perspective….! I guess no ticket then…. 🙁 Dang!
Remain strong, Just Me… my colleague sean is just starting to send the emails as I speak… it’ll probably take him a few hours tow ork through the list.
Cheers,
Tim
Oooooh, getting excited again…. 🙂 Thanks Tim
I haven’t heard anything yet. Will we get an email to notify that we didn’t make the count?
I rsvp’d as soon as I received the newsletter 🙁
Apologies guys – our email server has gone down, so we’ve still not been able to send out the good news yet. But we will email everybody either way.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Another update.
By now everyone should have received a note either giving you the good news, or letting you know if you’re on a waiting list in case some people can;t make it. So if you did email us and haven’t heard either way then it’s worth sending a note to my colleage sean@focalattractions.com.au .
Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you at the screenings!
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
