Actor Simon Pegg and director Richard Curtis have backed a new campaign by the mayor of London urging people to return to the cinema.

Sadiq Khan’s Back to the Big Screen initiative will host free screenings of films set or made in London in Trafalgar Square, central London, later this month for 1,500 people as part of the campaign.
