Never heard of this. Oh well - time to look up some more details...
About time too... by Hed_Thorax	Apr 8th, 2003 08:06:29 AM
I do believe this had the working Title of 'Cromwell and Fairfax' and had loads of major financial problems during the shoot and the crew nearly walked out several times over pay issues. Dougray Scott had to pay a few wages and put some money in the pot to keep it afloat and it's taken a few years to be completed and released. I read a case study of this film in Screen industry rag last year about how it was a good example of perceveirance film making! Supposed to be quite good from what I've heard on the grapevine, choosing more to concentrate on the character relationship than the spectacle of the history.

interestingly enough. It's also a Natural Nylon production - yes, those beautiful people who brought us Love Honor and Obey, Rancid Aluminium and Jude Law is dead. In this case, however, they're a bit more on form.

That doesn't (unfortunately) leave me on the edge of my seat waiting for this one. Odd how the only film I've liked about early modern British history was made by an Indian.
