A long, long time ago we revealed that the debut feature film from the Horrible Histories cast would be called Bill, and would offer up a uniquely alternative view of Shakespeare’s life story. With production now underway, further details about the film are starting to emerge:

Another TVO-connected artist will be joining the cast – in the shape of Rufus Jones. Behind the scenes, the movie also involves Ben Wheatley‘s regular collaborator, Laurie Rose (Sightseers, Kill List, A Field In England).

Bill will hit UK cinemas in just under a year’s time – on 20th February 2015, with preview screenings 18/19th February.

To keep on top of the latest news updates and photos from the set of Bill, we recommend liking the movie’s Facebook page or following its twitter feed. Or you could just keep checking in here, of course.
