A first-look picture for the star-studded British film Onward and Sideways has been released.
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Laura Linney (Ozark, Love Actually, John Adams) and BAFTA winner Rhys Ifans (Inheritance, Venom: The Last Dance, House of the Dragon) star in the feature drama, a story about two people with lots in common – a great sense of humor, a love of dance, and Parkinson’s.
The movie, coming to U.K. cinemas, the BBC One network and streamer BBC iPlayer from John Gore Studios and Hilltop Screen, also features Monica Dolan (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Sherwood, Black Mirror), Rory Kinnear (The Diplomat, The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Bank of Dave) and Paul Mayhew-Archer, among others.
