Death Knight Love Story cast: Joanna Lumley, Jack Davenport, Anna Chancellor, Brian Blessed
It's been distinctly quiet on here for a while, I know. But that's because Strange Company have been working away on Death Knight Love Story, some of the coolest details of which I couldn't announce - until now.
So, with no further ado - the principle voice cast for Death Knight Love Story, in order of appearance:
Joanna Lumley rose to fame as a result of her work on The New Avengers and Sapphire and Steel, but is probably best known internationally for her role as Patsy in the BBC series Absolutely Fabulous. She is described by the Internet Movie Database as "One of the most recognisable voices in the UK".
Jack Davenport shot to international fame with his role in the Pirates of the Carribean series, and is now known as one of the stars of JJ Abrams' Flash Forward. He is one of the UK's best-known television stars, playing the lead in series including This Life, Ultraviolet and Coupling.
Anna Chancellor is familiar to virtually all Brits from series like Pride and Prejudice, Tipping the Velvet, Spooks and Kavanagh QC. Internationally she's best known for her role as "Duckface" in the international mega-hit Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Brian Blessed could quite reasonably claim to be one of the best-known Britons the world over. One of the world's greatest Shakespearean actors, he's equally well known for his larger-than-life performances in Flash Gordon, Blackadder and The Phantom Menace and his acclaimed work in I Claudius, Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, and the original cast of Cats.
I really can't express how happy I am to be working with actors of this calibre. I've spent the last three months in a state of shock. Their performances are just amazing - I can't wait for the world at large to see this film.
Obviously, we don't have a lot of information up on the web yet, but we will be putting more and more up over the coming months, including lots of behind-the-scenes stuff from the production. To stay in touch with what's happening with Death Knight Love Story:

(HUGE thanks to Gail Stevens, our amazing casting agent, and to Chris Jones, who first suggested that maybe I should try and get some well-known actors in...)
