COMP CLOSED: Name these characters – and WIN film double passes

This week, thanks to Madman Entertainment we have 10 double passes to The Death of Stalin – a comedy that has been banned in Russia and loosely based on true events!

Here’s what is being said about it:

“The one-liners fly fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop). Moscow, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi, Rupert Friend, Simon Russell, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko and more.”

 

Check out the trailer here.

Now, we’re going to ask something slightly different this week. We want you to give us your BEST NAMES for those two characters in the black and white photo above. Imagine they’re characters in your own novel – or just think up something funny. If it gets our attention, you’ll win one of the 10 double passes!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES. THE WINNER WILL BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
