Exclusive: Studiocanal and The Picture Company are turning the Agatha Christie thriller classic Endless Night into a feature. They have hired up-and-coming scribe Preston Thompson to adapt it.
Published in 1967, the book follows a young couple who fall in love and move to a secluded property in the countryside of England. Once there, a series of strange events unfolds that turns the couple’s new romance into a harrowing nightmare that they must find their way out of.
Christie is responsible for some of great mysteries ever written, including the famous Hercule Poirot series, first adapted to film by Sidney Lumet and then again by Kenneth Branagh for 20th Century Studios. Latest is the Branagh-directed whodunit Death on the Nile, which opens February 11.
The Picture Company partners Andrew Rona & Alex Heineman will produce under their overall deal at Studiocanal. The producers just wrapped Baghead for Studiocanal in Berlin and recently wrapped Retribution,...

Pixie is exciting new western/thriller set against the Irish countryside, and to mark its release we took part in a virtual junket, speaking to leading cast-members Olivia Cooke, Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack. We also had the pleasure in speaking to director Barnaby Thompson and the writer, his very own son, Preston Thompson.
We discuss this brilliantly fun movie, the well-crafted characters, and ask McCormack to recount some scary stories he told his colleagues on set. And in our second interview we discuss the collaboration between a father and a son, and how that helped benefit the project. Watch both interviews in their entirety below.

The London-born producer and director is working on his third feature, penned by his son Preston. Filming has just begun on Barnaby Thompson’s new project, a comedic thriller entitled Pixie. This is the director’s third feature, following St Trinian’s (2007) and St Trinian’s II: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold (2009), two independent films revolving around a group of troublesome schoolgirls and based on the works of cartoonist Ronald Searle. Barnaby Thompson started his filmmaking career directing documentaries back in the late 1980s, such as the award-winning Kiss the Sky (1989). The script, penned in its entirety by Preston Thompson, follows the story of Pixie (Olivia Cooke), who seeks to avenge her mother’s death by masterminding a heist. However, her plans go awry and she finds herself on the run with two young men (Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack), who are way out of their depth being chased across the wild.
The cast is filling out for Oscar-nominated director Barnaby Thompson’s comedic revenge thriller, Pixie. Olivia Cooke is starring in the film, alongside Ben Hardy (Bohemian Rhapsody), Daryl McCormack (Vikings), Colm Meaney (Con Air), Dylan Moran (Shaun of the Dead), and Alec Baldwin. The film is being written by Preston Thompson.
Deadline reports the following rundown for the movie:
The plot centers on Pixie (Cooke), who wants to avenge her mother’s death by masterminding a heist, but her plans go awry and she finds herself on the run with two young men who are way out of their depth being chased across the Wild Irish countryside by gangsters. She has to pit her wits against everyone, taking on the patriarchy to claim the right to shape her own life.
This is a great cast, and a cool and interesting sounding story. I love a good revenge story, and I love the setting.

There are a lot of films that take aim at the youth of a particular moment in time and hope to speak to and for a generation. Most are just so much noise amongst the zeitgeist they pretend to thumb their noses at. The ones that work usually hold up well as films generation after generation, because they are close enough to their own generation and smart enough to realize that they aren’t exatly saying anything new.
Kids in Love, for example, while a stunning portrait of a sub-section of youth-ish today, reminds of nothing more than Metropolitan, a 26-year-old film that it has almost nothing in common with, except an extraordinary understanding of how its characters represent their own societal woes.
This is a film that sets us up with stereotypes and then delivers characters that, like real people, can’t see themselves as a demographic representative, and...

Kids In Love tells a very specific coming-of-age story. Not a universal one by any stretch, but rather an exploration of what it’s like to be a middle class British young man who’s just reached the end of compulsory education. Options are sprawled in front of Will Poulter’s Jack - an unpaid internship, a gap year, a university course – but none of them particularly interest him.
Enter Alma Jodorowsky as Evelyn, a Frenchwoman living in London who parties at places that Jack can’t even describe. She lives in a big quirky house filled with free-spirited pals, including Cara Delevingne’s Viola (an interesting role for the Suicide Squad alum, with a certain wit and warmth emerging alongside a vast collection of colourful headbands), Evelyn’s loathsome boyfriend Cassius (co-writer Preston Thompson) and the film’s breakthrough comedic force Milo (the other co-writer,...

Dig past the litterfall of Kray Brothers biopics and tales of nubile teens on camping trips gone wrong, and you’ll unearth plenty for the UK film industry to boast about in 2015. From sci-fi romps and thrillers like Robot Overlords and Ex Machina to dramas like High-Rise, comedies like War On Everyone, spy flicks like Spectre and kids’ films like Bill, there’s no shortage of inventive, highly promising cinema coming from these isles.
We’ve included a few choice co-productions in 2015’s pick of the year’s most interesting-looking pictures, which bolsters our list in both size and breadth (and mostly means we Brits can claim partial credit for ace-sounding dystopian flick The Lobster).
