The Full Monty Revived On Disney +
Quote:
Filming commenced on Monday in U.K. cities Sheffield and Manchester on “The Full Monty,” a Disney Plus limited series adaptation of the BAFTA-winning hit 1997 film.
The U.K. original series drama series (8×60’) reunites the film’s Oscar-winning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (“Slumdog Millionaire”) and producer Uberto Pasolini (“Nowhere Special”) and is co-commissioned by Disney Plus and FX. It will follow the original cast as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education and employment sectors and explore how communal effort can still triumph over adversity.
The cast reprising their roles from the film include Robert Carlyle (“Trainspotting”) as Gaz, Mark Addy (“Game of Thrones”) as Dave, Lesley Sharp (“Before We Die”) as Jean, Hugo Speer (“Britannia”) as Guy, Paul Barber (“The Dumping Ground”) as Horse, Steve Huison (“The Royle Family”) as Lomper, Wim Snape (“Gentleman Jack”) as Nathan and Tom Wilkinson (“Batman Begins”) as Gerald. The series will also introduce a new cast of children and grandchildren of the returning characters.
