The Revenant star Will Poulter and Bohemian Rhapsody’s Lucy Boynton are to lead the cast of Hugh Laurie’s three-part adaptation of Agatha Christie’s murder-mystery Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?.
Deadline revealed that The Night Manager and House star was behind the adaptation in April and the series is starting production this week.
Based on the 1934 Agatha Christie novel, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? follows the local Vicar’s son, Bobby Jones (Poulter), and his whip-smart friend, socialite Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent (Boynton) on their crime-solving adventure after they discover the crumpled body of a dying man who, with his last breath, gasps the cryptic question of the title. Armed only with a photograph of a beautiful young woman found in the dead man’s pocket, these amateur detectives pursue, and are pursued by, the answer to the mystery.

Lucy Boynton (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Will Poulter (“The Revenant”) are set to star in Hugh Laurie’s adaptation of “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, one of Agatha Christie’s earliest murder mystery novels.
Laurie (“House”) is set to direct and act in the three-part series for BritBox North America, in which he plays the creepy Dr. James Nicholson, a clinical director of a sanatorium.
Christie published “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, which follows Bobby (Poulter) and shrewd socialite Lady Frances (Boynton) as they untangle a murder mystery, in 1934. In classic Christie fashion, there are plenty of twists and turns until the perpetrator is finally unmasked.
“I’m so thrilled to be working with Hugh and Will, and on this story from one of my favourite authors,” said Boynton. “I can’t wait to get started.” She won’t have to wait long with production kicking off this week.

The Imitation Game breakout and all-round rising star Alex Lawther is coming hot off one of, if not the bleakest episodes of Black Mirror to date – and that’s truly saying something, given how dark Charlie Brooker’s anthology series tends to be – but Deadline brings word that the young Brit will remain firmly in thriller territory for Ghost Stories.
Shooting on the supernatural pic is now underway, according to Deadline, with Lawther starring opposite Paul Whitehouse, Andy Nynam, Sherlock stalwart Martin Freeman and George MacKay. Jeremy Dyson (The League of Gentlemen) is directing from an Olivier-nominated stage play, one he penned with co-writer Nyman after he headlined the original theater production.
Often compared to The Woman in Black for its brooding tone, Ghost Stories will have Nyman take point as Phillip Goodman, a “professor of psychology and arch-skeptic” who finds his scientific knowledge put to the sword when he...

While the frequently working Wheatley announced this would be his next film, it seems that filming was supposed to begin in late 2013 or early 2014. Knowing how rapidly he is able to complete his projects, we wouldn’t be surprised if this is ready for the fall, right after his version of the series “Ideal” starring Johnny Vegas has been completed. Whatever the scenario, this sounds like a return to more outlandish Wheatley territory after this year’s departure in experimental hallucinations with the inventive A Field In England.
Gist: An American sci-fi film, like “Hill Street Blues” with monsters and women cops.
Release Date: Wheatley is a festival darling, so if it’s ready by the latter end of the year, expect a possible out of competition slot somewhere.

With its Us release right around the corner, Drafthouse has released a new trailer teasing just some of the chaos that ensues in Wheatley’s latest, along with an appropriately psychedelic poster designed by Jay Shaw to match. And in case you needed any more persuading, Martin Scorsese himself is quoted as a fan of the film.

Film4 and Picturehouse have reported initial figures for the UK’s first simultaneous feature release across all formats.
Ben Wheatley’s psychedelic horror film was released simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD, free TV and VoD on Friday [July 5].
Released theatrically by Picturehouse Entertainment on 17 sites, it generated $32,000 (£21,399) over the weekend at a $1,876 (£1,259) average.
The film played to sold-out crowds at the likes of the Ritzy, Curzon Soho and Hackney Picturehouse in London, Dukes at Komedia in Brighton and Edinburgh’s Cameo.
For a limited release, the results are solid given the niche appeal of the film, in which a group of men descend into a magic mushroom-induced madness while searching for treasure in a field on the fringes of the English Civil War.
It also competed with the hottest weekend of the year and major sporting events including the Wimbledon tennis finals and International Test rugby final between the British & Irish Lions and Australia’s Wallabies.

To anyone who thinks that the film industry isn’t looking at new ways of reaching their audiences – and, really, you’d need to overlook everything that the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and Kickstarter have been working on recently – let Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England be the persuading force to change your mind.
Wheatley’s anticipated follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Sightseers has long been a film we’ve been really looking forward to seeing. We’ve been curious as to when exactly we’d be seeing it this year. And now the official press release has revealed that the film will be the first ever movie in the UK to be released on the same day in cinemas, on television, on DVD, and on Video On Demand.
Amazing.
The Film4 co-production will be released into cinemas through Picturehouse Entertainment, the distribution arm of Picturehouse Cinemas, on 5th July.

A Field in England
Director: Ben Wheatley
Writer(s): Wheatley & Amy Jump
Producer(s): Claire Jones, Andrew Starke
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Julian Barratt, Reece Shearsmith, Michael Smiley
In three short years since his 2009 debut (Down Terrace), Ben Wheatley has quickly established himself as part of the new breed of smart, Brit auteurs – fabulously etching together horror genre items of a different vibe. Stylistically, A Field in England promises to be just as inventive as Kill List and his rod-tripper Sightseers, and that same ingenuity easily transfers over into his narratives. If you believe that behind every great man is an awesome wife, then writing partner Amy Jump certainly should be mentioned her for his creative and productive overdrive. When you include his work in The ABCs of Death, 2013 will give us a chance to see three back-to–back-to-back works from Wheatley. His following on both...

Following on the back of his success last year with Kill List, Ben Wheatley returns behind the camera to release Sightseers in the UK at the end of the month. Showing no signs of slowing down, the promising young writer-director has already finished up shooting his next film, A Field in England.
The 17th Century-set psychedelic horror was originally set to shoot early next year, but since the announcement came in September, Wheatley has already finished filming, and is now in editing, and Film4 have given us our first image from the film.

Britain's Duchess Catherine has been praised by royal harpist Claire Jones for being 'sincere, genuine and complimentary.' Claire found the duchess - formally known as Kate Middleton before she married Prince William last year - to be as lovely as she looks and she was 'touched' by the brunette royal, who was 'very easy to speak to' before she played at the royal wedding. Claire said: 'The Duchess of Cambridge very kindly sent me a wonderful picture of me and my harp at Buckingham Palace to remember the day. 'I was touched by her sincerity. She seems a very lovely and genuine person, and very easy to speak to. I remember she very kindly complimented me on the dress I...

Arriving on the scene with the stunningly well filmed (and just plain odd) "Kill List" last year, British filmmaker Ben Wheatley is certainly not resting on his laurels.
Having already got "Sightseers" in the can for release later this year and the monster thriller "Freakshift" in development, Wheatley is managing to squeeze in yet another film - "A Field in England" for Film4.0 says Screen Daily.
Set during the English Civil War, the story follows a small group of deserters who flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. Captured by two men, one an alchemist, they are forced to help in his search to find a hidden treasure buried somewhere in the field.
Crossing a vast circle of mushrooms, the group descends into a chaos of fighting and paranoia. The treasure isn't what they expect and they "become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field".

Chicago – Graphic violence is a double-edged sword. It can shock viewers into acknowledging the tragic nature of carnage so often belittled in mainstream cinema, yet it can also repel viewers straight out of the theater before the end credits roll. Ben Wheatley’s “Kill List” is far from the most violent film in recent memory, but its few instances of onscreen bloodshed are unbearably savage.
This makes the film a perfect fit for IFC Midnight, which has specialized in distributing ultra-grisly indies. “Kill List” is one of their better releases this year, but it lacks the emotional and psychological depth of a film like Justin Kurzel’s “The Snowtown Murders.” Whereas Kurzel’s fact-based tale was about people who seemed frighteningly human, Wheatley’s film centers on a group of characters so witless that audiences may find it difficult to become involved in their plight. “Kill List” is entertaining enough...

The last time we told you about Ben Wheatley's (Kill List, Sightseers) latest film, Freakshift, was back in May; and honestly, there really wasn't much to say. Today we have a couple of new details for you, but be warned - it's nothing earth-shattering.
According to Variety film shingle Lava Bear is in exclusive negotiations to acquire the monster action thriller Freakshift, which Wheatley will helm.
Co-written by Wheatley and Amy Jump, the film is set in a world where monsters rise from the ground and terrorize citizens when night falls. The Freakshift is a band of government-organized misfits and lawbreakers who hunt and kill the creatures for civic duty, sport, and money.
Rook Films' Andrew Starke, Claire Jones, and Lava Bear will produce. Katherine Butler will executive produce via the Film4 banner, which developed and co-financed the project. Freakshift marks Film4's third collaboration with Wheatley and Rook Films.
