With all the excitement of Project Hail Mary filming in Southsea in 2024, you may have since watched the (awesome) final film, and then wondered where was that scene?

On the Blu-ray disc there are a number of scenes that were cut from the final edit, including this one below. It's really common for films to tighten up story in the editing process, drop sub plots for more clarity, remove characters, etc.

It's a shame Southsea didn't make the final cut, but to have Hollywood roll through the city was a great experience.

New music, old favourites and an intimate evening with Jamie T.

The Engine Rooms in Southampton hosted a special solo show, presented by Vinilo Record Store, with songs stripped back to acoustic guitar and piano.

His new album, Ghosts (100 Days of Morning), mixes big anthems with reflections on the past and hope for what comes next.
