Rhys Darby introduces Holy Grail

Matakana Cinemas will show a re-mastered version of the film.

Actor and comedian Rhys Darby will host a sing-a-long at a screening of Monty Python’s Holy Grail at Matakana Cinemas this week.

Cinema owner Dan Paine says the event follows a number of Q&As Rhys has done at the cinemas, introducing some of the films he has starred in.

Rhys later came up with the idea of a Rhys Darby Movie Club, where he introduces some of his own personal favourite films.

The actor is normally based in Los Angeles, but currently lives just outside of Matakana due to Covid.

In addition to introducing the Holy Grail, Rhys will lead the singing at the sing-a-long to songs featured in the film.

Holy Grail celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, and Dan says Matakana Cinemas have secured a remastered version of it with superior picture quality.

Words to the songs will appear as subtitles on the film to assist the audience to sing.

The film sing-a-long will take place this Friday, February 5, at 8pm.
