The producers of the $21 million
British movie "Cromwell and Fairfax" are
hoping to start shooting again this week, after they
were forced to suspend production Feb. 11 when the pic's
financing fell apart.
Natural Nylon's Kevin Loader and Bradley Adams are
deep in negotiations with potential backers, including
Fox Searchlight, which might bail out the project by
taking North American rights.
The pic, directed by Mike Barker, stars Tim Roth,
Dougray Scott and Rupert Everett in a 17th century
political drama set against the backdrop of the English
Civil War.
Shooting started Jan. 20 without a U.S. deal in
place, which meant Natural Nylon and sales company IAC
Films were unable to close their bank financing, and
ultimately could not continue cash-flow to the
production.
