Screen Daily is reporting that Gary Yershon is in talks to score the upcoming British comedy Brighton. The film is directed by Stephen Cookson (Stanley A Man Of Variety) and stars Phil Davis, Larry Lamb, Marion Bailey and Ruth Sheen. The movie is based on Steven Berkoff’s stage play Brighton Beach Scumbags and follows two older couples from the East End of London who travel to Brighton having not visited the seaside town in more than 30 years and reflect on how times have changed. Cookson is also producing the project with Peter Keegan for CK Films. Brighton is set to shoot this summer. A release in 2019 is expected.
As previously reported, Yershon (Mr. Turner, Another Year, Happy-Go-Lucky) also has Mike Leigh’s Peterloo coming up. The movie is expected to be released later this year by Amazon Studios.
