Directed by Woody Harrelson, this unprecedented live feature film event, Lost in London LIVE, he wrote and will also co-star with Owen Wilson and Willie Nelson, giving audiences the unique opportunity to watch a film shot in real-time.
Loosely based on a crazy night full of real-life events, the movie follows Harrelson, playing himself, as he struggles to get home to his family. Run-ins with royalty, old friends, and the law all seem to conspire to keep Harrelson from succeeding.
“I’ve always loved theatre and film and wanted to find the best way to merge the two. When I decided to shoot this in real-time, I realized it wasn’t quite like true theatre because the one-piece missing was a live audience. By broadcasting the film live as its being shot, I hope to truly blend the excitement of live theater with the scale and scope of the film,” said Harrelson.
I hope this film event is a success because I get a kick out of people pushing the envelope in an industry that is all too redundant with remakes and sequels.
