SYNOPSIS

Barney Thomson is a taciturn anti-hero who has fallen from grace in his meager barbering life. Close to losing his job, Barney comically falls into the unthinkable role of a serial killer. As he sweats out his predicament, he clumsily tries to cover his tracks as Detective Inspector Holdall is hot on his trail, Barney’s mother Cemolina cheerfully emasculates her son, setting off a bloody chain of events.


LONG SYNOPSIS

A surreal version of Glasgow set in no particular era, with the texture of old world boxers, time warped fun fairs, and a smoke filled barber shop at its core, The Legend of Barney Thomson takes place amidst panic over the city’s crime of the century. A serial killer is on the loose, jauntily boxing up his victims’ body parts and mailing them to their families. The police, led by woeful Detective Inspector Holdall (Ray Winstone), can’t seem to get a handle on the murders.

Barbershop chatter about the killings and considerable disrespect give Barney Thomson (Robert Carlyle), a hapless Scottish barber, vengeful ideas he knows he’ll never go through with. Barney is the kind of guy who just can’t seem to get himself back on top amongst the manly men and the chipper small talkers on the rougher side of town. Demoted and belittled by his co-workers, Barney seethes and schemes impotently until he inadvertently and very literally stumbles into murder. Unwittingly, his first accidental kill of a fellow barber saves his skin at the shop and he clumsily tries to cover his tracks. But, his formidable mother Cemolina (Emma Thompson) cheerfully emasculates him further, causing a bloody, albeit comedic chain of events to unfold. And of the pair, only she’s got the stones to clean up the mess.

Hiding bodies badly, navigating old ladies and dog tracks, and haunted by Charlie (Brian Pettifer), the local hang about who’s on to him, Barney’s paranoia nearly does him in. Meanwhile, Inspector Holdall is still the smartest bloke in the room. Unfortunately, no one else seems to notice. Just inches away from finding Glasgow’s notorious postal butcher, he’s trumped at every turn. Mirroring Barney’s frustrated life, Holdall is forced to take a back seat to his adversary, Detective Inspector Robertson (Ashley Jensen) who just happens to be a dick. But Holdall can’t seem to reconcile the methodical serial killer on the loose with the woebegone little barber. His instincts about Barney keep him on the trail, against his Chief Superintendant’s (Sir Tom Courtenay) direct orders.

In too deep to quit, Barney’s sanity unravels. He accidentally kills another barber, drawing even more suspicion on himself. With his mother offering no help with the second body he has to dump, Barney discovers who the true serial killer is: his mother! When he accuses her of being the notorious serial killer, she browbeats him to the point of giving herself a heart attack.

Now alone in the world and trying to keep both of their secret lives of crime from the police, Barney is pursued to the Highlands by Holdall and his fellow police detectives. However, in an absurd twist of fate, a shootout unfolds amongst the police and Barney manages to get away with murder.


THE LEGEND OF BARNEY THOMSON – PRODUCTION STORY

In 2010, Trinity Works Entertainment producing partners John G. Lenic and Kaleena Kiff read a screen adaptation of Douglas Lindsay’s Scottish novel The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson by Richard Cowan, a Canadian writer. And what a story it told. It was edgy, dark, and absolutely hilarious, with its gallows humor and Scottish sensibility. Immediately, Lenic and Kiff turned to the perfect man for the role of "Barney": Robert Carlyle. As a BAFTA winning actor, Carlyle is known for pushing the boundaries of character, while as a theater director he has won multiple awards for his brave reinvention of time-honored stories including Macbeth. Both Lenic and Kiff had worked with Carlyle previously on a television series and felt that he was beyond ready to bring his directorial vision to film. The novel had been optioned two times previously and Carlyle had been approached to star as Barney before, but the material hadn’t quite resonated enough with Carlyle to warrant his commitment. But Cowan’s adaptation proved different. With a push from Kiff and Lenic to read this version with an eye to both starring and directing, Carlyle was in.

Carlyle soon became passionate about bringing this truly Scottish story to the screen. Carlyle, Lenic, Kiff, and Cowan began developing the script in early 2011. When the script needed to take the next step and get back to its Scottish roots, Kiff flew to Glasgow in 2012 to connect with future producing partners at Sigma Films and to scout Glasgow’s rougher neighborhoods with Carlyle. After scouting the city, they settled on Bridgeton Cross in the East End, the very location where the film was eventually set. As a cast of real life characters followed favorite son Carlyle around the East End during those scouts, his director’s eye was already imagining Barney Thomson’s world. It was clear that he would be welcomed home and that the memories of his Glasgow childhood would infuse the script with an authenticity and celebrate Glasgow as a character in her own right. It was at this point that the BAFTA winning Scottish screenwriter Colin McLaren was brought on board to help elevate the material from the compelling source novel and Cowan’s original screenplay to a cinematic story worthy of a world-class cast.

Barney Thomson is a character-based film, so once the script was ready, it was time to find a brave actress to play Barney’s larger-than-life mother Cemolina. The director was convinced that only one British actress could truly do the imposing character justice: Emma Thompson. Yes, the two-time Academy Award winning Emma Thompson. Her comedic sensibilities and her appetite for challenge made her the perfect, albeit surprising choice. Now Carlyle didn’t know Ms. Thompson personally, so along with the script, in the autumn of 2013, he sent her a handwritten note and artwork inspired by the story. Just three days after receiving the script, Ms. Thompson, citing the script’s description of Barney as a “haunted tree”, said, “well we just have to make this film”.

Emma Thompson is a mere two years older than Carlyle, so performing as his mother was going to take a crack team to make her Cemolina convincing for both audiences and the actors playing the characters. Producer John G. Lenic had the bold idea of recruiting two-time Academy Award winning prosthetic make up artist Mark Coulier to help age Ms. Thompson by twenty years. Miraculously, the wildly talented Coulier, who had created Harry Potter villain Valdemort and Meryl Streep’s Iron Lady, was more than game. Additionally, the artist was thrilled to create the dead body parts that feature heavily in the script’s dark but comedic moments. Just having come off his success with aging Tilda Swinton by 40 years on the Grand Budapest Hotel, Coulier and his team were experts at aging make up, so a prosthetic head cast was set for Ms. Thompson in April of 2014. Now, the producers just had to put all of the other pieces together to meet that deadline.

Recognizable actors who are well beyond the reach of most indie films were quick to sign onto the film in order to work with Carlyle as a director, speaking to both the strength of the story and to Carlyle himself. To play Barney’s nemesis, Detective Inspector Holdall, Carlyle turned to his dear friend, beloved actor Ray Winstone. With a career history of playing hard-boiled characters in films like Sexy Beast, Winstone brought an intimidating yet comedic tone to his turn as the beleaguered detective on Barney’s trail. Behind the scenes, Winstone and Carlyle kept each other laughing while sharing great stories with the younger cast members including Kevin Guthrie (Sunset Song).

To play one of the more over the top roles in the film, Chief Inspector McManaman, Carlyle reached out to one of his acting heroes, Sir Tom Courtenay. The Academy Award nominee, BAFTA winner, and true great of London theater, Courtenay brought his wry sense of humor to the role. To honor his contribution to the film, Carlyle and the designer Ross Dempster filled his character’s office with references to Courtenay’s hometown of Hull, England. Shooting Courtenay’s scenes at the beginning of the schedule set a loose but efficient tone for the rest of the shoot.

Filling out the cast, the film attracted a pantheon of beloved Scottish actors, including Brian Pettifer (Amadeus), Ashley Jensen (BBC/HBO’s Extras), James Cosmo (Game of Thrones, Braveheart), Martin Compston (Filth, Damned United). Shooting in Glasgow on a decidedly Scottish film was a treat for these actors who usually must travel far afield for work.

The first crew hire was Production Designer Ross Dempster, who kept the film’s visual storytelling honest to the Carlyle’s original vision of a colorful, almost retro Glasgow. Before working with Lenic on the television program Motive, Dempster cut his teeth as art director on epic films including Godzilla and 2012. He set a high aesthetic benchmark for the The Legend of Barney Thomson from which the team never deviated, even when faced with the tiny tenement apartments of Glasgow. With the support of Scottish-based Sigma Films producer Brian Coffey, the Canadian producing team of Kiff & Lenic, and now Holly Brydson, landed in Glasgow to scout in earnest while Carlyle was wrapping up his role on the Vancouver-based ABC television show Once Upon a Time.

The director’s desire to celebrate Glasgow as another character in the film led Dempster and the producing team to seek out locations that represented the city’s history and unique qualities. In the city’s elegant downtown, the film’s police station was housed in an imposing sandstone building that was once the site of civil marriages and birth registries and now stands abandonned. The Barrowlands Ballroom, home to many legendary live music events, stood in for Cemolina’s bingo hall, while the surrounding neighborhood known as The Barras, was the backdrop to many scenes in the movie. The film’s dog races were shot at a working dog track, Shawfield’s, a place Carlyle and his own father frequented in the former’s youth. Additional locations adding realism to the film include the Red Road tower block, though much of what’s left of this infamous area is rubble. Though it was slated to be demolished just after filming, Cemolina’s apartment was played by one of the old Lincoln Road towers, adding even more texture to the film. Finally, Bridgeton Cross was the heart of the film, its bandstand and historic buildings lending the perfect authenticity to Barney’s small life. All the departments, from design to camera to locations, worked tirelessly to flesh out details of the only city where this story could be told.

Citing inspiration from the Coen brothers’s film Fargo as his touchstone, Carlyle created a neo-noir, timeless experience for audiences. With Link Wray’s spare guitar playing in the background as he prepped, Carlyle built a stylized world with graphic lines repeated in his frames and static wide shots for characters to move in and out of. Cinematographer Fabian Wagner, of Sherlock and Game of Thrones fame, brought a youthful courage to the noir tone. Even with a tight schedule, Wagner was able to deliver the graphic sensibility and moody lighting that the director and producers had always aimed to achieve. This in-between-eras Glasgow gives the film a topsy-turvy quality as the protagonist grows progressively more paranoid.

With Carlyle pulling double duty as both director and lead actor, a plan of attack was needed to allow him to maintain balance. In a bout of foresight, Carlyle conceived of hiring a recent drama school graduate to work as his stand-in. Similar in size and shape to Carlyle, Mark Barrett stood in for Carlyle during blockings with the other actors and the crew so that Carlyle could maintain his perspective as director until the cameras rolled. Wearing a wig and “Barney’s” costume, Mark prepared a performance for each scene so his fellow actors could rehearse with “Barney” while Carlyle watched from behind the monitor. When the cameras rolled, Carlyle would step onto set and into character, lending a freshness to the scene, but also the comfort of preparation. With his faith in his DOP and his producers’ eyes, Carlyle was adept at navigating the challenging task of both acting and directing.

The Legend of Barney Thomson is unique in setting, rich in character, and long on suspense and style. It has a sense of black comedy all its own. Carlyle never wavered from his neo-noir vision and allowed his team to support him in his directing debut. The film promises to be a defiantly memorable experience.

CEMOLINA THOMSON – EMMA THOMPSON

Emma Thompson is one of the world’s most respected talents for her versatility in acting as well as screenwriting.  She is the sole artist thus far to have received an Academy Award for both acting and screenwriting.

In 1992, Thompson caused a sensation with her portrayal of Margaret Schlegel in the Merchant-Ivory adaptation of E.M. Forster’s Howards End.  Sweeping the Best Actress category wherever it was considered, the performance netted her a BAFTA Award, Los Angeles Film Critics Award, New York Film Critics Award, Golden Globe and Academy Award.  She earned two Oscar nominations the following year for her work in The Remains of the Day and In the Name of the Father.  In 1995, Thompson’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee, won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay as well as the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and Best Screenplay awards from the Writers Guild of America and the Writers Guild of Great Britain, among others. For her performance in the film she was honored with a Best Actress award from BAFTA and nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. Her performance in Richard Curtis’ Love Actually earned Thompson Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the 2004 Evening Standard Film Awards, London Film Critics Circle Awards and Empire Film Awards, along with a BAFTA nomination. In 2013, Thompson’s moving portrayal of author ‘P.L. Travers’ in Saving Mr. Banks earned her both the National Board of Review and Empire Best Actress Awards, along with Golden Globe, Broadcast Film Critics, SAG and BAFTA nominations.

Thompson is currently on location filming Alone in Berlin with Brendan Gleeson and Daniel Bruhl. An English language adaptation of Hans Fallada’s powerful novel, based on the true story of a working class couple who conducted a harrowing series of anonymous protests against the Nazi regime during Second World War, the film is being directed by Vincent Perez, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Thompson has completed filming on The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson opposite Robert Carlyle and Ray Winstone; on director Ken Kwapis’ A Walk in the Woods, opposite Robert Redford and Nick Nolte; and on Adam Jones, starring Bradley Cooper.

In March of 2014, to the delight of both critics and audiences, she portrayed ‘Mrs. Lovett’ in the New York Philharmonic’s staged production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, opposite bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, in the title role. The production marked Thompson’s New York Philharmonic debut, New York stage debut, and first time performing the role. She and Terfel reprised their roles this Spring, in a sold-out, limited run at the London Coliseum with the English National Opera, for the ENO’s first ever season of musical theater.

In September of 2014, Penguin Press published The Spectacular Tale of Peter Rabbit, the third in the series written by Thompson. To celebrate the 110th anniversary of Peter Rabbit, Thompson was commissioned to write the 24th tale in the existing collection of Peter Rabbit stories.  It marked the first time that Frederick Warne, the publisher, had published an additional title to the series, which Beatrix Potter wrote between 1902 and 1930. The book, entitled The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in September of 2012 to great critical acclaim and, in October of 2013, Penguin published The Christmas Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Thompson’s feature film debut came in 1988, starring opposite Jeff Goldblum in the comedy The Tall Guy.  Her other film credits include Henry V; Dead Again; Peter’s Friends; Much Ado About Nothing; Junior; Carrington; The Winter Guest; Imagining Argentina; Primary Fiction; Stranger Than Fiction; Last Chance Harvey (Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress); Love Punch; Pixar’s Academy Award-winning animated film, Brave, and Men In Black 3.

In 2010, she reprised the title role of the magical Nanny in Nanny McPhee Returns, for which she also wrote the screenplay and acted as an Executive Producer.  Thompson created the character for the screen originally in 2004, in her own adaptation of Nanny McPhee, directed by Kirk Jones.

In 2004, she brought to the screen JK Rowling’s character of Sybil Trelawney in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, for director Alfonso Cuaron, and in 2007, she reprised the role in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, for director David Yates

For director Mike Nichols, she starred in the HBO telefilms Wit (2001, in a Golden Globe-nominated performance) and Angels in America (2002, Screen Actors Guild Award and EMMY Award nominations).  For her performance in the BBC Two television production of Christopher Reid’s narrative poem, Song of Lunch, opposite Alan Rickman, Thompson was nominated for a 2012 Emmy Award (in the U.S. it aired on “Masterpiece” on PBS). Also in 2012, she portrayed Elizabeth II in the Sprout/SKY ARTS production Walking the Dogs.

Throughout the 1980s Thompson frequently appeared on British TV, including widely acclaimed recurring roles on the Granada TV series Alfresco, BBC’s Election Night Special and The Crystal Cube (the latter written by fellow Cambridge alums Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie), and a hilarious one-off role as upper-class twit Miss Money Sterling on The Young Ones. In 1985, Channel 4 offered Thompson her own TV special Up for Grabs and in 1988 she wrote and starred in her own BBC series called Thompson.  She worked as a stand-up comic hen the opportunity arose, and earned £60 in cash on her 25th birthday in a stand-up double bill with Ben Elton at the Croydon Warehouse. She says it’s the best money she’s ever earned.

Thompson was born in London to Eric Thompson, a theatre director and writer, and Phyllida Law, an actress.  She read English at Cambridge and was invited to join the university’s long-standing Footlights comedy troupe, which elected her Vice President.  Hugh Laurie was President.  While still a student, she co-directed Cambridge’s first all-women revue Women’s Hour, made her television debut on BBC-TV’s Friday Night, Saturday Morning as well as her radio debut on BBC Radio’s Injury Time.

She continued to pursue an active stage career concurrently with her TV and radio work, appearing in A Sense of Nonsense touring England in 1982, the self-penned Short Vehicle at the Edinburgh Festival in 1983, Me and My Girl first at Leicester and then London’s West End in 1985, and Look Back in Anger at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue in 1989.

Thompson is President of the Helen Bamber Foundation, a UK-based human rights organization, formed in April 2005, to help rebuild the lives of, and inspire a new self-esteem in, survivors of gross human rights violations.  On behalf of the Foundation, Thompson co-curated “Journey,” an interactive art installation which used seven transport containers to illustrate the brutal and harrowing experiences of women sold into the sex trade. Thompson and “Journey” traveled to London, Vienna, Madrid, New York and the Netherlands for exhibitions and interviews.

Last year, Thompson joined Greenpeace on their Save the Arctic campaign. She is also an Ambassador for the international development agency, ActionAid, and has spoken out publicly about her support for the work the NGO is doing, in particular, in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic that continues to sweep across Africa. She has been affiliated with the organization since 2000 and thus far has visited ActionAid projects in Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, South Africa, Liberia and Myanmar.

Thompson has served as President of the Teaching Awards since 2010. The awards are open to every education establishment in England, Wales and Northern Ireland teaching pupils between the ages of 3 and 18, to nominate and celebrate teachers (and schools) who transform lives and help young people realize their potential. She is a Patron of the Refugee Council and also patron of Edinburgh College’s Performing Arts Studio of Scotland.
