Franklyn, a futuristic sci-fi movie set to start shooting next summer.
Gerald McMorrow will write and direct what will be his debut film. Plot info from
Coming Soon...
"The film is a split narrative set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis ruled by religious fervor. It's the story of four lost souls, divided by two parallel worlds, on course for an explosive collision when a single bullet will decide all their fates". As much as I'm down about the state of British cinema at the moment, it's good to see people like McGregor not sticking it out in Hollywood for the rest of his career. Concept sure does sound ambitious, especially for a first time director but with McGregor on board at least you are guaranteed a strong lead performance. source -
