Film Club: First-look images of Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwan
Filming has recently wrapped in Manchester on Film Club, the new romantic comedy drama coming to BBC Three later this year.
The channel has now unveiled some first-look images showing stars Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwan as central characters Evie and Noa.
The blurb explains: "For Evie, Film Club is her weekly escape - a chance to create a world of wonder, deck her mum's garage out in whatever the movie calls for, and spend a few uninterrupted hours with her best friend Noa.
"It's Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn't left the house in six months after a 'wobble', and tonight, things are different. Noa's got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending. That reality is hitting. That they're going to be forced to consider for the first time they might be more than just friends. Neither of them are the best when it comes to emotions but this time those emotions might be impossible to ignore...
"As if life weren't challenging enough already, Evie is going to be navigating this amongst the eccentricity of her family home - living with her fiercely loving single mum Suz, sister Izzie, and handsome boyfriend/sometime man of the house Josh. Film Club is a witty and emotional show about love and family, about whether we should follow our hearts or heads, and being in love with a friend."
The comedy also stars Suranne Jones as Suz, Evie's eccentric and unconventional mother, and Liv Hill as Evie's sister, Izzie.
Other cast members include Adam Long as Evie's boyfriend Josh, Arian Nik and Fola Evans-Akingbola as Film Club members Kam and Samantha respectively and Owen Cooper as Evie's annoying neighbour Callum.
Film Club has been written by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis (the latter of whom plays new Film Club member Dominic in the series).
Back when the series was announced, Aimee Lou Wood said: "When Ralph and I met a decade ago we knew pretty much instantly that we wanted to create something together and this feels deeply organic and idiosyncratic and right. Jamie Jackson at Gaumont has been the most incredible collaborator and the BBC is the perfect home. Three of the most essential things to me have always been writing stories, watching films and acting so the fact I get to write a story ABOUT watching films AND act in it is beyond joyful."
Film Club will be on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer later this year.
