– From Red Carpet to Screening Room –
Damian’s new vampire film The Radleys took a bite out of Edinburgh tonight! The movie got its World Premiere at the 77th edition of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Panel members Damian, Kelly Macdonald, director Euros Lyn and author Matt Haig introduced the World Premiere to the Cameo Cinema audience at the festival screening in Scotland on Tuesday, August 20, 2024.
Damian walked the red carpet and gave interviews to press at the event. You can view photos from the festival in our Gallery here and first look photos from the film here.
Based on the popular novel of the same name by Matt Haig, the bloodthirsty dark comedy is about a suppressed family of vampires living in suburbia, hiding their true nature. Damian plays the father Peter, Kelly MacDonald plays the mother Helen and their children are played by Bo Bragason (Clara) and Harry Baxendale (Rowan). The arrival of their arrogant, openly vampiric uncle Will (Peter’s twin also played by Damian) who embraces his hedonistic, bloodthirsty lifestyle accelerates the unraveling of the false front they have created.
The Radleys will be released on Sky Cinema on October 18, 2024 in the UK, just in time for Halloween. Watch on SkyTV in the UK and streaming on NOW. No official US release date as of yet.
