HP actors Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon) and Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) will do
voiceovers for the Swipe Films comedy, Jackboots on Whitehall. The film, directed by Edward McHenry, will use stop-motion figures and centers around the Battle of Britain with the Germans as the victors this time.
Griffiths plays Hermann Goering, the Luftwaffe leader, while Spall plays Winston Churchill. Ewan McGregor has been cast as the lead.
According to Swipe Films:
Quote:
It's Team America in style and tone but without the strings. We are using specially made Action Man type action figures, and purpose built models of Hadrian's Wall, Downing Street, etc. It is a tribute to the script's originality and to Edward's directorial vision that we have assembled such a starry British cast lending us their extraordinary vocal and comedic talents.
The film is due out next year.
