Distribution deal for star-studded UK comedy
Big ensemble cast in Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint
A cast of British comedy stars will feature in a ‘warm, uplifting and genuinely funny’ festive comedy film called Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Headlining the ensemble are John Bradley – who played Samwell Tarly in Game Of Thrones – Celia Imrie, Richard E Grant, Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh and Jim Broadbent.
Also in the cast are Sophia Di Martino from Flowers, Adrian Rawlins (Harry Potter’s dad int he film series) Karl Pilkington, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Nigel Planer, EastEnders actress Ann Mitchell, Dave Johns, Dustin Demri-Burns, Harriet Webb and Beau Thompson.
The show revolves around a recluse who despises Christmas, but is sentenced to community service at a retirement home where he is reluctantly drawn into directing a chaotic production of A Christmas Carol.
Distributors Signature Entertainment have just signed a deal to put the movie out in UK and Ireland, Screen Daily reports.
Signature’s Katie Wilkinson-Javes told the website: ‘Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint is exactly the kind of warm, uplifting and genuinely funny Christmas film that audiences love to discover during the holiday season.
‘With its brilliant ensemble cast, big heart and festive spirit, we’re delighted to be bringing the film to UK and Irish audiences in cinemas this Christmas.’
The film will be directed by Jack Spring from a screenplay by Chris Boyle-McQuarry.
