Rupert Evans & Kate Magowan Go Cannibal in ‘Elfie Hopkins’
Rupert Evans (Hellboy) and Kate Magowan (Primeval), are to star alongside Jaime and Ray Winstone, in Elfie Hopkins – a twisted tale of cannibalism set in a British rural hunting village, which begins principle photography on March 8 in locations in West Wales. Evans and Magowan play Mr. & Mrs. Gammon – the heads of a rather carnivorous family who move into a village and cause mayhem.
They join a stellar cast which includes Aneurin Barnard (Spring Awakening, Ironclad), Steven Mackintosh (Camelot, Luther) & Kimberley Nixon (Cherrybomb).
The film is directed by Ryan Andrews, who also wrote the screenplay and acts as co-producer. Billy Murray and Ray Winstone exec produce.

A creature wreaks havoc upon a community in Hope, from writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing), and the new poster gives a closer look at the snarling beast.
The Korean monster movie will be released in theaters in the United States by NEON on September 9.
Check out the new poster below.
Set in the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village.
In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki, set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading.
What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) star in Hope.
Hope had its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival back in May. The festival’s director, Thierry Fremaux, previously teased that Hope “constantly changes genres” to capture a story of “no part of history that’s ever been told before.”
