John Boyega, who has featured in Half of a Yellow Sun, Star Wars and produced Pacific Rim earlier this year is set to produce another film titled “Spriggans”.
According to UK folklore, Spriggans are ugly creatures believed to be spirits.
Deadline Hollywood reports that the production is down to casting. The crew for the film have however been sorted as the report confirms Keir Burrows and Josephine Rose will take over screenplay, directing and production roles.
Other crew members contracted for the huge budget film include Neil Corbould for the VFX and the creating of the creature, Amanda McArthur as production designer, and Gerry Vasbenter as D.O.P
Boyega says:
“I’m really excited to be joining A Spriggan and the team behind it. In my producing projects, I’m looking for film-maker driven, world-building, cinematic pieces, and have found in Josephine Rose another producer who shares that creative vision and commercial ambition. We’re looking forward to working with Keir Burrows to explore the monsters of real-life through a dark, twisted, fairy-tale world of the Spriggan.”
We are looking forward to seeing the complete cast list, maybe a few Nigerian actors will make the cut.
