Damian Lewis Set To Star in a Supernatural Dark Vampire Comedy THE RADLEYS
Damian Lewis (Billions, Band of Brothers) is set to star in a supernatural dark horror comedy titled The Radleys. The movie is coming from Heartstopper director Euros Lyn, and it’s based on the novel by Matt Haig.
The story follows the Radleys, “a seemingly ordinary family who hold a dark secret – they are vampires. They are abstainers, vampires who choose not to drink blood despite their natural cravings, but the truth is revealed one day.”
The story was developed by British Comedy Award winner Jo Brand (Getting on) and it’s being written by Talitha Stevenson (Late in Summer). It will start shooting in the U.K. in May 2023.
Producer Debbie Gray said: “I am excited to be working with the brilliant filmmaker Euros Lyn on ‘The Radleys,’ a high concept black comedy and vampire tale which explores, in a darkly humorous way desire, addiction and its power to destroy our relationships and those we love.”
Cornerstone’s Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder added: “’The Radleys’ is a funny and fresh take on the vampire movie and we are thrilled to reteam with Euros who brings a bold vision to this black comedy about family, morality, desire and self-destructive urges.”
Lewis is a great actor and this seems like it’ll be a fun film project for him to be a part of!
