First Man is a film which I really wanted to see in 70mm IMAX scenes in full-height (1.44:1), for the lunar scenes, which is normally the preserve of 70mm screenings, such as last year’s Dunkirk.

It centres around the investigation about the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG, in 1996, and the possible connections between them. This trailer doesn’t give too much away about how things will pan out, but it certainly looks like […]
