Apocalypse Clown, an ensemble comedy directed by BAFTA-nominated George Kane (Timewasters) has been boarded by Charades for international rights excluding the UK, which is handled by Vertigo Releasing.
The movie was penned by Shane O’Brien, James Walmsley and Demian Fox from the comedy outfit Dead Cat Bounce. The film is headlined by David Earl (Brian & Charles, After Life), Natalie Palamides (Nate — A One Man Show), Amy De Bhrún (The Bachelor Weekend), Fionn Foley (Dublin Oldschool), Tadhg Murphy (Brassic) and Ivan Kaye (Gunpowder Milkshake).
Filmed on location in Dublin and Kildare, in Ireland, the film tells the tale of a troupe of failed clowns and an ambitious reporter who embark on a chaotic adventure of self-discovery after a mysterious solar event plunges the world into anarchy.
“I cannot wait to finally unleash this madness on audiences,” said Kane. “Our writers have crafted an ambitious, relentless and joyously silly script — the likes of which you don’t see much anymore — and our brilliant cast are a total dream ensemble,” he added.
“It’s ‘Three Amigos’ directed by Roland Emmerich. It’s ‘Waterworld’ — on land — with fright wigs. It’s the apocalyptic clown comedy the world didn’t know it needed — but absolutely does,” Kane added. The helmer previously directed a flurry of successful shows, including “Timewasters,” which was nominated for a BAFTA award, as well as “Back” and “Wedding Season.”
Carole Baraton, Charades’s co-founder, said the company “was in at title stage, even before (they) read the script.” Read More…
