THE makers of the Bournemouth-shot horror movie K-Shop are planning a Brexit-inspired science fiction thriller as their first film gets a high-profile TV premiere.

K-Shop will be shown among the blockbusters on Sky Cinema from April 6.

The horror movie takes a scathing look at Britain’s binge drinking culture. It tells the story of a kebab shop owner who turns abusive customers into food.

Now writer-director Dan Pringle and producer Adam Merrifield are poised to shoot a £5million science fiction movie inspired by recent political events.

Dan said the success of K-Shop during a limited theatrical release and on DVD had helped get their next project moved along.

“It’s another grim British affair but essentially it’s Britain in 2051 and the world has been ravaged by climate change and environmental chaos. Britain has built a giant coastal wall to keep out outsiders,” he said.

“It’s a Brexit inspired movie set in a potential future Britain. Because of the nature of the themes, it’s getting quite a lot of attention within the industry.

“It’s been in development for a couple of years but now we’ve got K-Shop coming through, we’re in a position to move the next one forward.”

K-Shop was shot entirely in Bournemouth, with the kebab shop created in a then-empty unit in Gervis Place. Much of the drunken behaviour captured in the film was real life footage shot in the town centre.

Dan revealed that K-Shop was the object of a bidding war between streaming service Netflix and Sky Cinema.

Dan said: “I think we’re pretty pleased that the film’s going to get its premiere on such a prestigious channel.”

He added: “It’s a couple of months after Star Wars: The Force Awakens was premiered there. It must be one of the lowest budget movies to premiere on Sky Cinema.”

Producer Adam Merrifield said: “K-Shop opened a lot of doors for us with film finance and distributors, having the movie in cinemas, on DVD, online and Sky.”

He added: “The number of DVD units surpassed my expectations and it ended up in four supermarket chains. That surpassed my expectations.”

Adam, who has subscribed to Sky Cinema since its early days, said: “I always hoped it would go on to Sky. That was a dream come true, to have it on Sky Cinema.”
