Mike Leigh wraps production on new film in London

Production is set to wrap next week in London on a new, as yet untitled feature from Mike Leigh, marking his first film since the multi-award-winning Hard Truths.

The Thin Man Films production is co-financed by Film4 in association with Desmar, Merino Films, Ventureland and Creativity Media.

The cast is led by Marion Bailey (Mr. Turner), alongside Paul Jesson (All or Nothing), Kate O’Flynn (Happy-Go-Lucky) and Alice Bailey Johnson (Hard Truths). Plot details have not yet been revealed.

Leigh reunites with key collaborators, including costume designer Jacqueline Durran, production designer Jane Brodie, composer Gary Yershon, editor Tania Reddin and casting director Nina Gold. Georgina Lowe produces for Thin Man Films, with Gail Egan as executive producer.

Cornerstone Films is handling international sales. Bleecker Street will release the film in the US, with StudioCanal set to distribute in the UK, following their recent success with Hard Truths.
