The true story of Hollywoodā€™s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the inimitable movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pairā€™s triumphant farewell tour.

With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) ā€“ a formidable double act in their own right – the pairā€™s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

Danny Huston also stars in the film as Laurel & Hardy’s producer Hal Roach.

The film is directed by Jon S. Baird and written by Jeff Pope.

Stan & Ollie will be in cinemas in January 2019.
