For a preview of what to expect, producers released a video to Instagram on Thursday showcasing workshop footage of Charlotte Broom’s choreography, Kev McCurdy’s fight direction and the eye-opening fly work from Suspended Illusions.

“You are going to see a massive spectacle,” McCurdy said. “Everything that you see [in] the film itself is great, it’s huge, a lot of it is CGI. This, you’re going to see live. It’s going to blow your heads!”
