British Actress Gemma Atkinson (Hollyoaks, 13hrs) has just signed on to feature with Richard E Grant (Withnail & I) in new British comedy How to Stop Being a Loser due out in 2011. Also starring fellow Brit actors Simon Phillips (The last 7), Martin Compston (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) and Craig Conway (Dog Soldiers) in a movie that will be co-produced by Black and Blue Films. Jonathan Sothcott (Devil’s Playground, Dead Cert) of Black and Blue films commented “we have admired Simon Phillips’ production expertise for some years and we have been actively looking for a project to make together. A great script and a top notch cast including pals such as Gemma, Craig and Stephanie made this absolutely the right choice for a joint venture. I hope it will be the first of many.”
Here is the films official synopsis
How To Stop Being a Loser tells the story of a hapless single man called James (Simon Phillips) who’s luck appears to change when he meets romance guru Ampersand (Craig Conway)… but is Ampersand all he appears to be? And does James actually know what he wants. Hilarious chaos ensues in this deliciously warm and silly London comedy in the tradition of Four Weddings & A Funeral and Bridget Jones.
With an already great British cast signed on for the film this will definitely be one to look out for in 2011 if you want to see the official trailer, check out our British movie library entry for the film here.
