British director Ben Wheatley follows up his impressive horror thriller ‘Kill List’ with new black comedy ‘Sightseers’. It’s due to arrive in UK theatres from 30 November and a brand new and fantastic looking trailer has popped up for the project penned by Amy Jump and star Steve Oram. I’m thoroughly enjoying the very bleak yet British world’s that director Wheatley is pulling his audiences into and am very much looking forward to this new vision which also boasts filmmaker Edgar Wright (‘Shaun of the Dead’, ‘Hot Fuzz’) who’ll be serving as executive producer. Next up for Wheatley will be his segment in horror anthology ‘The ABCs of Death’. ‘Sightseers’ stars Alice Lowe and co-writer Oram, along with Lucy Russell, Monica Dolan, Jonathan Aris, Gareth Tunley, Eileen Davies, Stephanie Jacob, Aymen Hamdouchi and Kenneth Hadley. Head below for the full synopsis breakdown plus the new trailer.
“Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way – on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina’s led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see – the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn’t take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina’s meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris’s dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge…”
