Greenwich Entertainment acquired Days of Bagnold Summer the directorial debut of Simon Bird (star of The Inbetweeners) that premiered at the Locarno Film Festival. The film will be released in theaters, on virtual cinema, and on demand February 19.
Days of Bagnold Summer is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Joff Winterhart with a screenplay written by Lisa Owens. Starring Earl Cave (True History of the Kelly Gang), Monica Dolan (Pride) and Rob Brydon (The Trip), the film sweetly draws you into the wobbly relationship between well-intentioned single librarian Sue Bagnold and her black-clad teenage son Daniel, who’d rather listen to Metallica than his mother. Daniel was meant to spend the summer in Florida visiting his dad, but is now stuck with Mum following the trip’s cancellation.
“I’m thrilled that, in a period of extraordinary disruption to international travel, this film about a cancelled US summer vacation has found its way across the Atlantic,” said director Simon Bird. “Rest assured it will be following all quarantine regulations to the letter.”
