KAPOW! Prepares For The Raid

With The Raid released into cinemas from Friday 18 May, Kapow! is delighted to welcome writer and director Gareth Evans, who will be taking part in the Momentum Pictures Showcase panel on Saturday 19May on the Total Film stage.

The Raid, which has already been receiving glowing advanced reviews, follows a doomed SWAT team who become trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs. The Raid will be just one of several upcoming titles within the Momentum Showcase showing exclusive footage.

The Momentum Pictures Lounge, based in the Ground Floor area of the venue, will also be open throughout the weekend and showing footage, so come along and take the weight off your feet. Plus check your goodie bags for some fantastic posters!
