This autumn, film fans are in for a treat as they journey to a forgotten jungle to watch their favourite action and adventure movies. London’s theatrical cinema experts Backyard Cinema are creating a lost world, full of ancient labyrinths and tropical temple ruins.

Launching this September, explorers will be able to watch classic childhood movies, including The Jungle Book, Hook and The Goonies as well as action-packed blockbusters Jurassic Park, Predator and The Legend of Tarzan.

Tickets holders will enter through a secret entrance of temple ruins as they travel to a land that time forgot. After finally emerging into the jungle, the screening room will feature a huge screen and giant beanbags surrounded by tropical trees and plants, jungle sounds and temple ruins. Before settling down to watch the film, enjoy a jungle-themed cocktail from the bar.

The Lost World is the latest offering from Backyard Cinema, a roaming, theatrical cinema which started in the back garden of its founder. Among their productions include Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet at St Mary’s Church and Winter Night Garden at Winterville. Backyard Cinema are famous for bringing extra dimensions to classic films using set builds, actors and live music.

Backyard founder Dominic Davies, said: ‘We can’t wait for people to experience the Lost World. This is a theme that is close to our hearts, this is a true homage to the action and adventure movies we grew up on and keep coming back to. We want to enhance your nostalgia for them by creating a real sense of adventure as we take you on a journey to another world. A great excuse to all be kids again for a few hours. Just imagine watching Hook, in a JUNGLE!’
