Thomas Turgoose and Stephen Graham have fuelled speculation a new instalment of ‘This Is England’ is on its way.
The former co-stars – who appeared in director Shane Meadows’ original 2006 movie as Sean and Combo respectively and reprised the roles in three TV miniseries between 2010 and 2015 – have been spotted filming scenes together at a snooker hall in London’s East End for a mystery project.
An onlooker exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Thomas and Stephen looked really pleased to see each other. It might be three years since the last ‘This Is England’ was on TV but they slotted straight back into filming like no time at all had passed."
Following the success of the three TV shows, ‘This Is England 86’, ‘This Is England 88’ and ‘This Is England 90’, creator Shane admitted two years ago he was keen to finish the franchise with one last movie.
He said: "There is one ‘This Is England’ left. I’ve got one last idea for ‘This Is England’ but as a film that can be split as a hybrid – because it started in cinemas and ended up on TV – I would love to finish off with one feature-length episode people can watch in the cinema or on TV the same night."
However, he admitted it wouldn’t be easy to get the full cast, which included Vicky McClure and Joseph Gilgun, back together as they have all gone on to do "bigger and better things".
He explained: "The cast have all gone on to bigger, better things. All of them are doing incredible things, so that’s probably the hardest thing now – trying to get everyone back.
"But I know the desire is there from me and I’m sure the cast, all of us, don’t see this as a job, but as a summer holiday. So I’d imagine we’d get it back."
