STARS of The Mighty Boosh are to shoot a comedy movie in Nottingham.

Principal photography on Bunny And The Bull, the feature film debut from the writer/director Paul King, will begin next week. Mighty Boosh stars Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding will appear in the film alongside Edward Hogg (Brothers of the Head) and Simon Farnaby (The Mighty Boosh).

Bunny And The Bull is decribed as "a comedy road movie set in a flat" in which the key character Stephen Turnbull, stuck in his flat for months with little human contact, is disturbed to find an infestation of mice. It prompts memories of a disastrous trek around Europe with his friend - and fellow gambling addict - Bunny.



As well as The Mighty Boosh, Paul King has directed cult TV comedy Garth Marenghi's Fright Knight and Netherhead, winner of the 2001 Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He also directed Noel Fielding's Perrier nominated show Voodoo Hedgehog.

Its producers have previously worked on the acclaimed This is England, Dead Man's Shoes, Death of a President and Touching the Void.

Production company Warp X, which has a base in Nottingham, is behind the project with funding from Film4, the UK Film Council's New Cinema Fund, Screen Yorkshire, Optimum Releasing and Wild Bunch. EM Media in the Lace Market is also involved.

The film follows recent successes with Control and This Is England, both made in Nottingham.

From warpx.co.uk:

Bunny and the Bull starts shooting 30 JunePrincipal photography on BUNNY AND THE BULL, the feature film debut from the writer/director PAUL KING (The Mighty Boosh) commences on 30 June 2008.

BUNNY AND THE BULL stars EDWARD HOGG (White Lightnin’, Brothers of the Head), SIMON FARNABY (The Mighty Boosh, Jam and Jerusalem) and VERONICA ECHEGUI (El Patio de mi Carcel, Yo soy la Juani). Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade will also appear.

A WARP X production, BUNNY AND THE BULL will be produced by MARY BURKE (A Complete History of My Sexual Failures, Rubber Johnny), with MARK HERBERT (This is England, Dead Man’s Shoes) and ROBIN GUTCH (Hunger, Executive Producer Death of a President, Touching the Void).

BUNNY AND THE BULL is a comedy road movie set entirely in a flat. Stephen Turnbull hasn’t been outside in months. When a sudden infestation of mice forces him to abandon his routine, he finds his mind hurtling back to the disastrous trek around Europe he undertook with his friend Bunny. Two gambling addicts let loose for the first time, they are hopelessly unprepared for the adventure that awaits them. Stephen’s flat becomes the springboard for an extraordinary odyssey through lands made up of snapshots and souvenirs, from the industrial wastelands of Silesia to the bull fields of Andalusia. BUNNY AND THE BULL is a touching and beautiful journey to the end of the room.

BUNNY AND THE BULL is the fifth film to shoot from Warp X’s production slate, which is backed by Film4, the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund, EM Media, Screen Yorkshire and Optimum Releasing. Wild Bunch are co-financing and handling all international sales. Shooting will take place at the University of Nottingham’s King’s Meadow Campus Studio (formerly Carlton Studios) for five weeks.

Warp X’s first projects, comic documentary A Complete History of My Sexual Failures directed by Chris Waitt and hedonism-gone-wrong thriller Donkey Punch directed by Olly Blackburn are on general release this summer after their Edinburgh UK premieres. Hush and ATP will be released later this year.

Writer/director PAUL KING works in both TV and theatre, specialising in comedy. He directed ‘Garth Marenghi’s Fright Knight’ and ‘Netherhead’, winner of the 2001 Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival and was associate director of the Channel 4 series ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’. He directed Noel Fielding’s Perrier nominated show ‘Voodoo Hedgehog’, before directing all three series of ‘The Mighty Boosh’ and their live tour show in 2006.

Producer MARY BURKE works across both Warp Films and Warp X slates. In 2007, she produced A Complete History of my Sexual Failures for Chris Waitt and is associate producing ‘Fur TV’, a comedy TV series currently in production with Warp Films for MTV, also directed by Waitt and produced by Warp Films and Yummo. Mary produced Rubber Johnny for Chris Cunningham in 2005. Her credits include BAFTA award-winning short My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117 (Chris Morris), Dead Man’s Shoes and This Is England (Shane Meadows).

Warp X is an initiative of Film4, the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund, EM Media, Screen Yorkshire and Optimum Releasing. Optimum Releasing will distribute the film theatrically in the UK and Channel Four Television will take the UK TV rights.

I'm so excited! On IMDB, under "release date" it says "USA 2009," so hopefully that means they're actually going to show it in the states! If not, there better be a way for me to see it online or something, because there is no way I'm missing this one!!!
