Fackham Hall is an upcoming British period comedy film directed by Jim O'Hanlon. It stars Ben Radcliffe, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, and Emma Laird.[1] It is written by comedian Jimmy Carr in his screenwriting feature debut with Patrick Carr and The Dawson Brothers.
A lovable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) who moves into the English manor house of Fackham Hall. He has a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport (McKenzie) and is framed for a murder, while Archibald (Felton) becomes Eric's rival and vies for Rose's hand in marriage. At the same time, rivalries are spilling over in the Davenport family, led by Lord and Lady Davenport (Waterston) as they also weather the epic failure of the wedding of their eldest daughter (Laird) to her caddish cousin.
Fackham Hall is a parody of traditional period dramas like Downton Abbey, Gosford Park, and Monty Python.[2]
Additional casting is underway and principal photography will begin in the UK in early 2024.[1]
Jimmy Carr said:
