Critical popcorn

I think Alice Lowe is brilliant, and so this filming and casting news for Timestalker, her second film as writer/director after the mighty Prevenge, is very exciting! Shooting in Wales, Timestalker is set to be Lowe’s reincarnation rom-com, the tale of one woman’s unrequited love spanning several centuries.

Writer/Director Lowe stars in the lead role as Agnes, a hapless heroine who, through time, repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods: 1680s Western Scotland; 1790s Rural England; 1980s Manhattan; and an apocalyptic 22nd Century. 

I LOVE the sound of all of this, and she’s gathered a fine ensemble cast that includes Jacob Anderson, Aneurin Barnard, Tanya Reynolds, Nick Frost, Kate Dickie, Dan Skinner, and Mike Wozniak – Lowe has also teamed up with producer Vaughan Sivell and Western Edge Pictures, with Hanway Films owning worldwide rights.
