4. The Director; Danny Boyle
• Danny Boyle is an Oscar winning British
director that has a very gritty and real tone to
his films. We feel that his directing skills will
suit the tones, themes and style of the film.
• Danny Boyle has also worked along side the
co-star of the film; Ewan McGregor twice.
This friendship makes the film easier and
more stable to create as a good relationship
between cast and crew is vital to a film such
as this to be a success.

6. Production companies
• New Line Cinema, they produced Se7en, The
Conjuring, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday the 13th
and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.
• Sickle and Blade Films, this is our created production
company.
• Film4 will also help with small production costs, this is
because the film is British and they have worked with
Danny Boyle before as well as Ewan McGregor on
Trainspotting. Also Danny Boyle has made Slumdog
Millionaire, A Life Less Ordinary and Trance. So Boyle
has worked with Film4 a lot over the years.

7. Budget
• The budget will be £48,000,000. This is
because the budgets the 3 modern films that
have inspired our film were added together
and then divided which gave us the average.
This average was £48,000,000. This budget
will go towards paying for the cast, Ewan
McGregor most importantly, the crew,

Detective Lawrence Ansen is a policeman for the Greenwich department and he is trying to become
a legend in the area like his Uncle was before he died. He is determined and strong but can become
too passionate about his work and this causes chaos. He plays the hero.
Michael Ansen is Lawrence’s older brother. They are very close and Michael is always looking out
for Lawrence but Lawrence is getting tired of the fact he is treated like a child and he wants to be a
proper independent adult. He plays
Steven Fisher is the killer is the film but is never revealed as so until the end. He is seen as a solid
helper to the police force in Greenwich and is just a quiet man who lives in a suburban road. But he
has a dark and violent side.
Sarah Evans is a middle-class woman who has just finished University in Winchester and has come
back down to Greenwich to proceed with a job she has been accepted for at a law firm. She plays
the damsel in distress, the helper and the donor.
Chris Porter is a known rapist who has been released from Belmarsh Prison for several years and he
says he is rehabilitated but when a woman is violently killed and raped he is the lead suspect for
Detective Ansen.
Richard Thompson is a local café owner in Greenwich and has been a snitch for the police even
since he was released from prison because of an armed robbery back in 2009. He agreed a deal
with the police thanks to his lawyer, that he will be released but he must help the police by finding
out info on other suspected criminals. Richard however doesn’t like the position he is put in when
he is asked to help with the killings of the young women.

9. Release date
• The film will be released on the 17th December.
• This is the chosen date because its after the summer
blockbuster time; July and August. This is important
because it means there will be less competition in the box
office.
• Also being in a cold and dark time of year it suits the
atmosphere of the time of year.
• Finally December and January are the months for the major
Oscar and BAFTA bate so we would be more open to
awards and this means when the film is open for DVD sales,
Blu-Ray sales or Internet streaming, if we collect some
Oscars or BAFTAs the sales will massively increase.
