It Only Takes a Minute! Trailer for Top Movie Based on Take That Songbook Released
A trailer for the much-anticipated movie based on the Take That songbook has been unveiled on national television today.
Elysian Film Group today premiered the trailer for Greatest Days on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’.
Greatest Days was shot at numerous locations across Clitheroe and culminated in a big song and dance number in the town centre, followed by shoots in London and Athens.
And the trailer shows a sneak preview of some of the film’s incredible song and dance numbers, as well as numerous scenic shots of Clitheroe.
It can be viewed at the web site of Ribble Valley Borough Council, ribblevalley.gov.uk, which assisted the production company during its two-week shoot in Clitheroe.
Described as ‘a feelgood universal story of love and friendship’, the film introduces five schoolgirls – Rachel, Heather, Zoe, Claire and Debbie – who live in Clitheroe and have the night of their lives at a concert featuring their favourite boyband.
Twenty-five years later their lives have changed in many ways, as they reunite for one more epic show by their beloved band, relight their friendship and discover that maybe their greatest days are ahead of them.
Nicola Hopkins, Ribble Valley Borough Council’s director of economic development and planning, said: “Our officers worked behind-the-scenes for some years with the film’s production crew to bring this prestigious project to Clitheroe.
“The film was shot at numerous locations in and around the town and a couple of our officers who attended the cast and crew screening say it is absolutely fantastic.
“It is just the tonic we need as we negotiate the post-pandemic period and we are working with the Greatest Days team to create a lasting legacy from the film in Clitheroe for years to come.
“And the trailer says it all – this is a fantastic film that will have cinemagoers dancing in the aisles and flocking to Clitheroe, where they will receive a warm welcome.”
Greatest Days is directed by multi-BAFTA-winning Coky Giedroyc (How to Build a Girl) and written by Tim Firth (The Band, Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots).
It stars Aisling Bea, winner of the 2020 BAFTA Television Craft Award for Breakthrough Talent; Alice Lowe, Jayde Adams, Amaka Okafor, Marc Wootton, Lara McDonnell, Jessie Mae Alonso, Nandi Hudson, Carragon Guest and Eliza Dobson.
The film’s ‘boy band’ are Aaron Bryan, Dalvin Cory, Joshua Jung, Mark Samaras and Mervin Noronha.
And the producer is Danny Perkins (Elysian Film Group), along with executive producers Take That’s Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald.
Greatest Days will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on Friday, June 16, with a London premiere on Thursday, June 15, at which Take That will perform.
Ribble Valley Borough Council officers are putting the finishing touches to a series of activities to coincide with the film’s release and further details will be announced shortly.
