The Colour Room: Sky release date, cast interviews, trailer

Plenty of films have yet to make the hi-res journey to Blu-ray, but there are hundreds that never even made it to DVD. Empire has been digging, and we've exhumed these 25 movies never officially pressed onto a small, silver disc... to date. If you feel inclined, suggest your own lost treasures in the comments. What’s the story? A romance from the director of Duel In The Sun, set during the American Civil War. Sullavan plays a Southern plantation owner whose world gets turned upside down by the conflict between the Confederacy and the Union. But even in her darkest hours, she has her love for Randolph Scott to sustain her. Aww. It wasn’t a great success, to the extent that studios were wary of Civil War films for a few years afterwards, until the juggernaut hit Gone With The Wind cheered them up again in 1939. What’s the story? A documentary about The Beatles, which, as it turned out, chronicled more-or-less their last days – although a lot of the footage of the band falling out with each other was cut to make to make the film less abrasive. The final product follows the band recording at Apple Corps Headquarters and staging an impromptu gig on the studio roof. It is no surprise that Peate was keen to write this biopic, as Cliff is an inspiring figure in many ways. She became a star in her field at a time when it was exceptionally difficult for a woman to get ahead, and she had trailblazing ideas. She also played a significant role in revolutionising how pieces are sold by moving them out of the art fairs and galleries and taking them straight to the target customers.October 30, 2023 , Joel Fisher , No Comment Pigeon Shrine Halloween Frightfest Film Review – Maria (2023)

What’s the story? Teenage post-high-school hi-jinks in an apartment complex in the LA suburbs. Cameron Crowe wrote it before he made his directorial debut with Say Anything..., and it’s often compared to the also Crowe-written Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Some have even called it a pseudo-sequel, although it isn’t officially that. It's a wonderful opportunity to promote how ground-breaking Clarice Cliff was in her day, and encourage local children to follow in her footsteps in breaking down barriers. It's very disappointing that so few local children will get to see The Colour Room at the cinema, but we are grateful to the Mitchell Arts Centre for showing it."David Morrissey ( The Singapore Grip) is Clarice’s mentor, the renowned art designer Fred Ridgeway, while Darci Shaw (the young Judy Garland in Judy) is her sister, Dot, and Kerry Fox ( Shallow Grave, Last Tango in Halifax) as her widowed mother, Ann. Also look out for Luke Norris ( Dr Dwight Enys in Poldark), among the cast. A spokesperson for Sky said that the Vue, Odeon and Cineworld chains were not showing the film because they require a gap between the theatrical release and availability on streaming services, rather than simultaneously releasing a film on both platforms, known as 'day and date release'. Matthew says: "I didn’t know a huge amount about the story behind The Colour Room. I knew the name as I think my Aunty Eileen, who was my mother’s stepmother, had a teapot in her kitchen that was by Clarice. I remember the pattern but I didn’t know how influential she’d been on potteries and indeed in design, so it was quite thrilling to be a part of this. We’re very much in a time, thankfully, that things are changing for women in general: we suddenly have this poster child from the past. It’s very inspiring. I didn’t know anything about Colley Shorter, obviously, but that’s quite nice that he’s behind the scenes - it gives me slightly more leeway with how we wanted to go about portraying him. Sky announces start of production in England for The Colour Room, a Sky Original". Sky. 17 March 2021 . Retrieved 11 April 2021. Darci Shaw says: "Dot has her own identity as a Paintress at Wilkinsons, she does contrast Clarice in the sense of what they want their lives to be. Dot wants to have a family, to be settled and married whereas Clarice has these wild dreams of designing and success that neither Dot nor Ann can really understand. When I first walked on set and saw their bedroom I remember thinking how well it represents their relationship; Dot’s side is tidy, pretty, just so, and Clarice’s side is bursting with colour and ambition."

Here’s what we know so far about the one-off biopic The Colour Room on Sky Cinema… 'The Colour Room' release date... Coming from a working class family in Stoke On Trent, the best Clarice could hope for was a job in one of The Potteries’ factories, despite her obvious talent for design and colour. Being creative and developing new ceramics collections was very much a man’s job and it was only when her ideas caught the attention of factory owner, Colley Shorter ( Matthew Goode) that she was able to join his team of designers. It wasn’t plain sailing, though: as the only woman among them, she was kept out of meetings and decision making and had her ideas constantly dismissed. Her first collection, Bizarre, with its strong shapes and bold colours, didn’t go to plan but, undeterred, she found a way to bring it to the attention of female customers and went on not only to save the factory during the Depression of the thirties, but take ceramics in a whole new direction.

In between Thief and Manhunter, Michael Mann directed this dreamlike historical-horror oddity. During World War II, German soldiers unearth a dangerously powerful entity in a castle in Romania (specifically pegged as a Golem in the film but not in F. Paul Wilson’s original novel), who is understandably furious about the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews. Mysterious, sorcerous stranger Glaeken Trismegestus (Scott Glenn) arrives to save the day with a light show. Initially, there’s little about The Colour Room to catch the eye. The story of 1920’s ceramic artist, Clarice Cliff, who turned out to be something of a trailblazer and, for those who know next to nothing about the industry (probably most of us), the title doesn’t give much of a clue. But the one thing that will catch your attention is the name at the top of the cast list. Phoebe Dynevor, from the huge Netflix hit, Bridgerton. And she makes this, her first feature film, very much her own.Ian Mood, of the Potteries Lunar Society, said: “We decided that we wanted to host a screening as soon as we found out that it wasn’t being shown anywhere in the area. We wanted to do it as a thank you to all the local artists and extras who took part, and as soon as we broached the idea the Mitchell Arts Centre and Caspian Films were more than happy to help.
