A FILMMAKER has decided to re-release a movie which was predominantly shot in north Essex after coronavirus disrupted its promotion. Lucas and Albert, a comedic gangster film set against the backdrop of Tendring, was premiered at a red carpet event at Clacton’s Century Cinema last year. The feature, written by Anthony Longhurst, from Thorpe-le-Soken, and Robert Putt, follows two ageing hitmen who are forced into doing one final job. Littered with television talent, including John Altman, best known for playing Nick Cotton in EastEnders, the movie was nominated for Best Feature at the National Film Awards. Just one month after its nomination, however, the coronavirus pandemic struck, so writer Anthony is now planning on re-releasing the film.
