Known for his often near the knuckle and controversial jokes comedian Jimmy Carr writes a movie alongside Patrick Carr and the Dawson brothers. and filming has just begun in Fackham Hall ( got to be a joke in there somewhere).
The film is a period-drama spoof and when the project was initially announced, it was revealed that filming would take place in various locations, including Leeds and Liverpool with a cast thast is led by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Thomasin McKenzie, Emma Laird and Katherine Waterston with Jim O’Hanlon attached to direct.
Fackham Hall is set to parody the conventions of pieces such as Downton Abbey and Gosford Park.
Last year O’Hanlon said of the feature: “Fackham Hall is that rarest of rare hen’s teeth – a genuinely funny, fiendishly clever period comedy which even on the page makes you snort your tea out of several orifices at once, whilst still making you care hugely for the young couple at the centre of all the madness.“
The feature is produced by Mews Films, that is part of Archery Pictures. Archery Pictures launched Mews Films four years ago, in partnership with Elysian Film Group, with the aim of nurturing comedy features for the UK theatrical market.
He’s a sharp comedian with a load of great one liners so lets hope that Jimmy Carr writes a movie again
