Some time ago someone emailed the site asking if Martin was getting married. He’d been seen wandering around a big wedding exhibition in London, and his bride-to-be was none other than Jessica Stevenson. Well, no. They’re not getting married. But Matt and Samantha are…
I’ll let the press release speak for itself:
“Confetti is an hilarious and affectionate comedy that follows three couples as they fight it out to win a bridal magazine contest for ‘Most Original Wedding of the Year.’”
I couldn’t have put it better myself! As well as starring Martin Freeman there’s a host of other fine British acting talent including Jessica Stevenson (Shaun Of The Dead, Spaced, The Royle Family), Stephen Mangan (Green Wing), Felicity Montagu (I’m Alan Partridge), Rob Webb (Peep Show), the lovely Olivia Colman (Peep Show, Bruiser), Meredith MacNeill (Man Stroke Woman), Jimmy Carr and the incredible Alison Steadman (Topsy-Turvy, Life Is Sweet). Plus loads more…
The film is directed by the lovely, talented Debbie Isitt (Nasty Neighbours), and is entirely improvised around her story.
(I had the good fortune of experiencing some of this fascinating process when I spent a day in the cast. You can read more about that on my personal site.)
Confetti factoid: Martin has a cousin called Matt Norris.
