Winterbottom’s Coogan Comedy Ends Up at IFC
IFC Films is acquiring the U.S. rights to Michael Winterbottom’s British comedy “The Trip,” starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Film premiered at Toronto, and was produced by Andrew Eaton and Melissa Parmenter of Revolution Films. Flick follows Coogan, who is asked by The Observer newspaper to travel through the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, dining in fine restaurants and visiting various historic locations from the life of William Wordsworth. But when his girlfriend backs out on him, he has no one to accompany him on the trip. Enter Brydon, his best friend and source of eternal aggravation.
