Rupert appears as Alisdair in the film Writers Retreat made by MoliFilms Entertainment with director Diego Rocha.
They really made us wait for this one! It was first screened on 16 October 2015, at a film festival in Spain: SITGES – International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia. The film’s page on the festival website is here. The film’s Facebook page announced ‘Coming to theatres summer 2016’, but alas that proved overly optimistic.
The film finally scored a distributor in the US and was released to the anxiously awaiting public on 17 April 2018. Huzzah!
However, the film is currently available for sale from Amazon US only, so if you can play a Region 1 DVD you’re in luck. Or if you’re in the right part of the world, you can watch it via Prime Video.
Otherwise, you can watch a trailer here on the film’s Facebook page. Here’s a screen grab from the trailer…
Rupert is one of the leaders of the writers group, along with the main point-of-view character, so we get to see a fair bit of him. Which is always a good thing. ♥
Has anyone actually been lucky enough to have seen the movie Writers Retreat?
Alas, no! Not me… I found out about the screening in Spain just a little too late, and foolishly thought that there would be other opportunities again soon.
Film-making is a tough business, and it seems that film distribution is tougher still.
