Long Way Down featuring Ewan McGregor will be shown in movie theaters in the U.S. this July. The two-hour director's cut will play for one night in 400 theaters on Thurs. July 31 at 7:30pm.

American audiences have not been able to watch the series on television and the director's cut is a prelude to the TV series which begins on Aug. 2 on Fox Reality Channel.

The series chronicles Ewan's 15,000 mile journey from Scotland to the southern most point of South Africa - Cape Agulhas.

Tickets go on sale June 27th and are only $10. You can go here to find out where the nearest movie theater showing the film is.
