The relationship-focused comedy follows four movie industry professionals who reunite in Wales.

The announcement of the U.K.’s new Independent Film Tax Credit (Iftc) back in March had a near instantaneous impact, at least in the case of one film production.

“Giant,” the biopic of boxer Naseem Hamed and starring Amir El-Masry, was in advanced pre-production when the news landed, with plans to shoot location work in Hamed’s home town of Sheffield and all the interiors — including the essential boxing rings — in Malta. Sets were already being built on the Mediterranean island, which has been courting numerous film productions in recent years thanks to a generous 40% tax rebate initiative.

But then the Iftc was unveiled and the U.K., when it came to producer’s all-important bottom line, was suddenly much more competitive. What had previously been a 20% tax break was now around 32.5%. Given the costs involved in shipping the film overseas, “Giant” didn’t need to pack up its bags.

Ella Purnell was last seen as the ever-optimistic Lucy in Amazon Prime Video’s live-action adaptation of the game Fallout. The show received positive responses from critics and fans alike, with Purnell’s performance being lauded. She also became a viral meme due to her character arc in the show.

However, all that fame might be at stake for the actress who will be starring in a bizarre horror comedy. Purnell will be leading the cast of the film The Scurry along with Rhys Ifans and Paapa Essiedu. It is reportedly a horror comedy that features a group of deranged squirrels attacking a park.

CinemaBlind’s Review – 80%

Not sleeping in the is a big problem for many people but if they had a best friend who is also up with them, could it be really fun. The new Apple TV+ series Still Up answers that question through a sweet story about two friends Lisa and Danny suffering from insomnia, who are connected mostly through video calls.

Created by Steve Burge and Natalie Walter, Still Up has a small cast and it does a good job of focusing on the important storylines through them while also establishing their eccentricities and wants in the story seamlessly. We never feel that any of the characters in the series are out of place or forced in the story.

Would you mind falling in love with a person you connect with instantly and talk to for hours over regular late-night video calls? The slow spark between Danny and Lisa builds up at the very beginning of the series Still Up without their realizing it. The romantic comedy thrives on the worlds of the two friends who are insomniacs, catching up with each other on routine late-night video calls. Created by Steve Burge and Natalie Walter, the handling of the major characters has been left to the deft hands of Craig Roberts and Antonia Thomas. The comic-buildup on romance is sudden and unexpected at the end of the episode when the characters match on the dating app, before which everything seemed to be a platonic conversation between the two friends.

Spoiler Alert

The bond between Danny and Lisa grows at a slow pace. But it’s sure to take greater turns in the future.

There’s a point midway through When Harry Met Sally when the two leads, both unable to sleep, find themselves on the phone. The actual conversation isn’t about much of anything — past relationships, what’s on TV, the ending of Casablanca. But what comes through loud and clear is the connection between them, so easy and comfortable that any fool can see they’re meant to be together.

Apple TV+’s Still Up is a whole series of When Harry Met Sally phone calls, placed between insomniac besties Lisa (Antonia Thomas) and Danny (Craig Roberts). Like their big-screen forebears, they fancy themselves “just mates”; like them, it’s evident to nearly everyone around them, us included, that they’re destined for romance. All that’s missing, alas, is When Harry Met Sally‘s most crucial ingredient: the magical chemistry to make us root for them to get there against all odds.

Not sleeping in the is a big problem for many people but if they had a best friend who is also up with them, could it be really fun. Created by Steve Burge and Natalie Walter The new Apple TV+ comedy-drama series Still Up answers that question through a sweet story about two friends Lisa and Danny suffering from insomnia, who are connected mostly through video calls.

Still Up looks set to be one of the best comedies of the year.

Apple TV+ shared the official trailer for the new comedy series starring Antonia Thomas and Craig Roberts.

Still Up is an almost romantic comedy set in the after-hours world of insomniacs Danny (Roberts) and Lisa (Thomas), who have no secrets except their feelings for each other.

The trailer zeroes Danny and Lisa's bond. They struggle to sleep and bond as they help each other through the night.

Insomnia isn't easy to handle, so having someone on the other end of a phone with you throughout that difficult time must be comforting.

While Danny and Lisa believe their bond to be platonic, it seems romantic feelings are simmering beneath the surface between them.

The logline does reveal they have no secrets except their feelings for each other, so there's a good chance the eight-part comedy will chart that throughout.

Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor) and Craig Roberts (Red Oaks) are insomniacs with unspoken feelings for each other in Apple TV+‘s upcoming comedy series Still Up. The streamer released the first official trailer (watch below) for the rom-com today, Tuesday, August 22, which introduces viewers to Danny (Roberts) and Lisa (Thomas), two insomniacs who keep each other company every night while everyone else sleeps. But their friendship begins to put pressure on their respective romantic lives. In addition to Thomas and Roberts, the series stars Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners) as Lisa’s kind and eternally optimistic partner, Veggie; Lois Chimimba (The Outlaws) as the forthright and funny Amy, who Danny meets on a dating app; Luke Fetherston (Pandora) as Danny’s helpful firefighter neighbor Adam; and Rich Fulcher (Kidding) as Danny’s strange neighbor Cat Man.  “I don’t think you know what it’s like to see your partner...
