Filtered news/Shane Meadows starts shooting new film

Industry news arrives at The Filter's wires: Under the working title This is England, Shane Meadows (Dead Man’s Shoes, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, A Room for Romeo Brass, Twentyfourseven), started shooting his new film last week. The film is described as 'darkly comic rites of passage story which unfolds during the summer of 1983, when Britain’s disenchanted youth took to the streets of the working class towns across the nation.' It tells the story of Shaun, an 11-year-old kid growing up in the north of England. Set during the summer holidays, it follows his rites of passage from a shaggy haired ruffian grieving the loss of his father in to a shaven headed thug whose anger and pain are embraced by the local skinhead fraternity. Cast includes Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Jo Hartley, Joe Gilgun, Andrew Shim and Vicky McClure.
