Frank Shortlisted for Two Screen Awards
Frank has been shortlisted in two categories for the 2014 Screen Awards.
The Lenny Abrahamson-directed film was shortlisted for Online Campaign of the Year and Trailer of the Year. Previous winners of the Online Campaign award include Prometheus and Iron Man 3, while trailer of the year was previously snapped up by Shame and Skyfall.
Frank was written by Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan and is loosely based on Chris Sievey’s comic persona Frank Sidebottom. The film has won international acclaim since its release in April, in particular the performances of Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson. It recently opened in the United States to rave reviews and strong box office. The Region 2 DVD will be released in September.
Abrahamson is currently working on an adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s novel Room, Fassbender will soon be seen in a big-screen adaptation of Macbeth while Gleeson will appear in Star Wars Episode VII.
