“Greeting peasants!” Entertainment Film Distributors in the UK have unveiled an official trailer for an indie comedy called Seize Them!, made by NZ filmmaker Curtis Vowell. This is the first big lead role for actress Aimee Lou Wood (as a Queen!) following her excellent turn in Living recently. It’s set for release in April in the UK, but has no other dates set yet. Dark Ages Britain where Queen Dagan is toppled by a revolution led by Humble Joan. The Queen becomes a fugitive in her own land, and must face hardship and danger as she embarks on a voyage to win back her throne. A “comedy road movie set in the dark ages” – with her new friends, a castle worker and a shit shoveler, she begins her quest for justice. In addition to Aimee Lou Wood, this stars Lolly Adefope, Nicola Coughlan, Paul Kaye, John Macmillan, with Jessica Hynes and Nick Frost. Great cast! This looks like goofy fun! It’s all rather absurd, but that’s the whole point. Right…?
Here’s the official UK trailer (+ poster) for Curtis Vowell’s Seize Them!, direct from YouTube:
Brimming with warmth, humour and swordfights, Seize Them! is a comedy movie set in the dark ages. The egotistical and clueless Queen Dagan is toppled from her throne. She’ll need help to survive as a fugitive and win back her kingdom. With her new friends, a castle worker and a shit shoveler, she begins her quest for justice. Seize Them! is directed by New Zealand filmmaker Curtis Vowell, director of the films Fantail and Baby Done previously, plus many episodes of the series “Shortland Street” before this. The screenplay is written by Andy Riley. Produced by Damian Jones and Matthew James Wilkinson. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Entertainment Film Distr. will debut Vowell’s Seize Them! in UK cinemas starting April 5th, 2024 this spring. No international releases have been set yet – stay tuned.
