Frank and Percy is a British comedy-drama adapted from the critically acclaimed West End play of the same name. The film stars six-time Olivier Award-winner and Academy Award-nominee Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings, X-Men) and three-time Olivier Award-winner Roger Allam (The Thick of It, Les Misérables), who reprise their stage roles.

The stellar cast includes multi-time BAFTA Nominee Stephen Fry (Gosford Park, Wilde, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy), Primetime Emmy, Critics’ Choice and BAFTA TV Award Winner, Jessica Gunning (Pride, Baby Reindeer), multi-time BAFTA Award-Winner Dame Joanna Lumley (The Wolf Of Wall Street, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie), Primetime Emmy and Critics’ Choice Winner, Sir Derek Jacobi (Gosford Park, Gladiator), BAFTA Nominee Ncuti Gatwa (Barbie, Sex Education, Doctor Who), and Dame Siân Phillips (I, Claudius, Dune).

The film is adapted by award-winning screenwriter Martin Sherman (Mrs. Henderson Presents, Bent) from the West End hit play by Ben Weatherill, and directed by internationally acclaimed film and theatre director Sean Mathias (Bent, Waiting for Godot, Hamlet).

The story follows two older men who meet while walking their dogs on Hampstead Heath. What begins as casual conversation about the weather and aching hips gradually deepens into an unexpected friendship – and perhaps something more. Wryly funny and poignantly tender, Frank and Percy is a heartfelt, life-affirming tale about the courage to take a chance on love at any age.

The project is co-produced and financed by John Gore Studios and BK Studios, with John Gore, David Gilbery and Naomi George serving as producers.

Executive Producers include Hilary Strong, Jamie Anderson, Ian McKellen, Spencer Pollard, Jenny Seagrove, Richard D Batchelder and Carl Moellenberg.

Icon Film Distribution will release the film theatrically in the UK, and Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has worldwide sales rights.
