Alice Lowe’s second feature, Timestalker, arrives in UK cinemas on Friday 11th October. The film is a quirky blend of time travel, romance, comedy and death. Lots of death. As with her debut feature, Prevenge, Lowe once more writes, directs, and stars in her film, though this time at least, she wasn’t several months pregnant at the time. Filling out her cast are some of the best British talents working today with Aneurin Barnard, Kate Dickie, Tanya Reynolds, Jacob Anderson, and Nick Frost all being given multiple parts in the love story across the ages.
Timestalker follows hapless heroine Agnes (Alice Lowe) through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, and gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins… Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she is destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.
Fans of Prevenge will find plenty to love in this whimsical story of love, loss, and obsession, with Alice Lowe injecting a healthy dose of her quirky humour into the proceedings. Timestalker also looks gorgeous with the team doing a phenomenal job with costumes and set dressing, transporting the audience across time alongside Agnes.
During the lead up to Timestalker’s arrival into UK cinemas, THN were able to speak with Alice Lowe along with the two men of Agnes’ life, Aneurin Barnard and Nick Frost. Our conversation covered the fun of dress-up, on-set accidents, why audiences need to support Timestalker and 80s icon Limahl.
Timestalker is in UK and Irish cinemas from 11th October.
