A first look at the upcoming offbeat comedy.
Writer/actors Simon Farnaby (Yonderland, Horrible Histories) and Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) combine their offbeat talents for Mindhorn, the story of a former TV star who returns to his most famous role to defeat a real life criminal.
Directed by Sean Foley and starring Barratt and Farnaby, along with Russell Tovey, Essie Davis, Andrea Riseborough, Steve Coogan and Jessica Barden, Mindhorn is in UK/ROI cinemas May 5th.
The official synopsis reads:
Washed-up Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt) peaked with hit 1980s detective show Mindhorn, playing the titular Isle of Man sleuth with a robotic eye that allowed him to literally “see the truth”. Decades later, when a deranged Manx criminal demands Mindhorn as his nemesis, Thorncroft returns to the scene of his greatest triumphs for one last chance to reignite his glory days, professional credibility and even romance with former co-star/paramour Patricia Deville (Essie Davis).
