,” has his latest movie, “Days of the Bagnold Summer,” premiering at the Locarno Festival on Wednesday. He talks toabout those movies, as well as upcoming projects, including a heist musical, a feminist horror pic, and a new film – as yet unannounced – directed by BAFTA winner Paul Andrew Williams.,” which he brought to screenwriter Richard Curtis, who in turn helped persuade Working Title and Universal Pictures to come on board, with Danny Boyle attaching as director to form a dream team.
“Yes, it was a bit of a process. My background is editorial so it always felt like that was going to be the part that I would have to play the most. Certainly in terms of Richard writing his version of the script, we were on hand a lot to give editorial feedback,” he says. Looking at the slate of Wilkinson’s production company, Stigma Films, there is a predominance of elevated genre films. “They have to feel like something that would deliver to a savvy genre audience, who have certain expectations from a film like that,” he says. “But I also want to make sure that they have strong characterization and resonant scenes, and they are actually attempting to say something.
“Amulet” has been shot and delivered, and will premiere at an A-list festival this autumn. “The Power” is about to start principal photography. On Wednesday, Wilkinson will be in Locarno for the world premiere of gentle coming-of-age comedy-drama “Days of the Bagnold Summer,” the directorial feature debut of British actor, best-known as the star of hit comedy series and movie franchise “The Inbetweeners.” The film stars Earl Cave as an angry teen spending a frustratingly dull summer in his suburban town with his lonely single mom, played by Monica Dolan. Rob Brydon, Alice Lowe and Tamsin Greig deliver witty cameos.
