My Oscar Book:
Penned by Ben Hopkins, the film follows the discovery of long-buried World War II bomb in central London which sparks “a city-wide evacuation, while a group of men exploit the chaos to their own ends,” a plot synopsis reads.
The film is produced by Berrie, Mackenzie for Sigma Films, as well as Sebastien Raybaud and Callum Grant for Anton. Giles Nuttgens joins Mackenzie’s creative team as director of photography
after previously collaborating on seven films, including Hell or High Water.
Sky will release the film theatrically in the U.K. and Ireland, whereas UTA Independent Film Group and WME Independent are co-representing the U.S. rights with Anton.
