Grabbers starts shooting
December 6th, 2010
Principal photography is underway in Belfast and Donegal, Ireland on irreverent Irish comedy horror Grabbers, directed by Jon Wright from an original screenplay by Kevin Lehane. Richard Coyle (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Madonna’s W.E, Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal), Ruth Bradley (Flyboys) and Russell Tovey (The History Boys, Being Human) head the cast.
Director Jon Wright re-teams with producers Tracy Brimm and Kate Myers of Forward Films following their collaboration on 2009 teen horror _Tormented _(released in the UK by Pathé Warners). International sales are being handled by The Salt Company and Sony Pictures has already snapped up UK rights to the project which provides a comic twist on the classic suburban monster horror, as a sleepy Irish fishing village is forced to fend off a blood-sucking sea creature with an unlikely weapon…alcohol.
