PEMBROKE: Blood and guts with a BES
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is a story of blood-curdling cruelty about an Irish warrior king exhumed one day in the future whose spirit runs amok on a wooded island. Will Julia, the beautiful heroine, tame the spirit before she is murdered by drug manufacturers? "To put it crudely, it is Reservoir Dogs meets Highlander," says Michael Tims, 28, the International Financial Review journalist who, with the help of Henley-based Venture Capital Report, is searching for backers for the £250,000 production.
His partner, Speilberg-wannabee Julian Richards, 28, is winner of a clutch of international awards and is currently directing Brookside. The star role - King Cuchulainn - will be played by Adam Ant, the 1980s teen idol turned actor. The team is funding the production through an ingenious BES scheme and investors are promised payment before the participants.
The risks: high on the list is rain stopping filming.
