The film adaptation of Frank and Percy, co-produced and financed by John Gore Studios and BK Studios, today released a new image of Ian McKellen, who also serves as an executive producer, as Percy, and Roger Allam as Frank.
The story follows two older men who meet while walking their dogs on Hampstead Heath. What begins as casual conversation about the weather and aching hips gradually deepens into an unexpected friendship – and perhaps something more. Billed as, “wryly funny and poignantly tender, Frank and Percy is a heartfelt, life-affirming tale about the courage to take a chance on love at any age.”
The British comedy-drama is adapted from the West End play of the same name features a cast including Stephen Fry, Jessica Gunning, Joanna Lumley, Sir Derek Jacobi, Ncuti Gatwa, Siân Phillips, Rob Brydon, Felicity Kendal, Sheila Hancock, Peter Davison, Gary Wilmot, Nitin Ganatra, Amari Bacchus, Hugh Skinner and dancer and actor Wayne Sleep.
Frank and Percy is written by Martin Sherman (Mrs. Henderson Presents, Bent) and directed by Sean Mathias (Bent, Waiting for Godot, Hamlet).
The project is co-produced and financed by John Gore Studios and BK Studios, with John Gore, David Gilbery and Naomi George serving as producers.
Executive Producers include Hilary Strong and Jamie Anderson for John Gore Studios, alongside Jenny Seagrove, Richard D Batchelder and Carl Mollenberg.
Icon Film Distribution will release the film theatrically in the UK, and Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has worldwide sales rights.
