\n Zak The Ripper,\u00a0a comedy filmed in and around Brighton, Newhaven, and nearby parts of Sussex, is approaching the end of filming, with an anticipated release date of summer 2027.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The film is the latest collaboration between producer, writer, and director Warren Dudley and producer and director of photography Matt Cotton.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n It features rising comedy star Jack Skipper, who has gained a large following online for his observational humour and social media sketches, alongside Sy Thomas, Tiff Stevenson, and Richard Herring.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The plot follows Zak Harris, newly divorced and awkwardly single, whose attempt to get back into dating takes a disastrous turn when his first date turns up dead.\n<\/p>\n
\n When more bodies begin to appear, Zak suddenly finds himself the prime suspect in a very unusual murder investigation.\n<\/p>\n
\n Several Sussex locations have featured in the film’s shooting schedule (Image: Ian Greenland Photo)\n<\/p>\n
\n Filming locations have included Crowhurst, where close-up shots of lead actor Sy Thomas were filmed on private land off Sampsons Lane.\n<\/p>\n
\n Brighton residents may recognise The Lighthouse Building in Argus Lofts, Kensington Street, and the city centre, where a press conference was filmed as one of the opening scenes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Additional footage was shot in properties in Newhaven and at film studios in Worthing.\n<\/p>\n
\n Co-producer Natasha Britton said: \u201cMatt and Warren are both Sussex based, and this is a collaborative project between the two of them, so it made sense to make use of local talent to find the cast and crew.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Skipper added: “It\u2019s a brilliant cast and a great team, and I\u2019ve really enjoyed being part of it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I can\u2019t wait for people to see the film.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Principal photography is now nearing completion, with the film set to enter post-production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zak The Ripper,\u00a0a comedy filmed in and around Brighton, Newhaven, and nearby parts of Sussex, is approaching the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":791093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-791092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
