The Hollywood News has teamed up with Crabtree Films to give you a chance of winning a copy of the new black comedy THE DRUMMOND WILL. The film is the debut feature from Alan Butterworth, who won the BFI 24 hour film competition with ‘Not So Perfect World’. The film is a collision between old and new. A black comedy set in decaying rural England and reminiscent of the Ealing classics. It’s released on the 8th August.
Here’s the synopsis for the film…
Howard Drummond has passed away. On checking out his decrepit estate, his sons, Marcus and Danny find one of their dad’s ancient friends hiding in a closet with a bag full of money.
Whilst they decide what to do, the pensioner is left to suffocate to death in the closet, thus leaving them with a much bigger problem to deal with; tell the police, or take the body and leave it in his own home and pretend nothing has happened (keeping the money for themselves in the process, of course!)?
This opens their world up to a series of bizarre incidents resulting in the village’s quirky population gently decreasing during their short stay. The brothers soon realise they’ll need to rely on each other if they are to survive and it quickly becomes clear that inevitably, nothing is as it seems…
So, we have three copies of the film to give away, and here is the question that you have to answer to be in with a chance of winning.
Question: Who directed THE DRUMMOND WILL?
a) Alan Butterworth
