Sid & Nancy: exclusive trailer for the 30th anniversary release of the punk rock tragedy

In 1986, Alex Cox followed up Repo Man with a biopic of Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols bassist who was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, but who died in 1979 from a heroin overdose before the case came to court. Cox cast Gary Oldman in the lead role, whose career took of meteorically as a result – even though the film incurred the displeasure of John Lydon ,aka Johnny Rotten. Sid & Nancy has been restored for its 30th anniversary and will be released in cinemas on 5 August, and DVD/Blu-Ray on 29 August.
