We helped fill in the gaps.
Zeller was an established theatre director in France butThe Fathermarked his first feature film.
Parfitt revealed his company Trademark Films is also in early development on a futuristic adaptation ofHamletcalledHamlet Prince Of Wales.
Its way off yet but its aHamletset in the near future in England, he said.
I wont say it dystopian because that always sounds so cliched.
The idea is that democracy has collapsed and the monarchy has taken over again and ourHamletis based around that.
Theres nothing to announce as yet.
There is no cast, no funding.
Were just developing the script, he added.
Recently completed films on Parfitts slate include UK director George JaquessBlack Dog, on which he is executive producer.
Theyve just finished it and I think its rather good.
I signed up for it ages ago.
I was on it as a key in of exec producer, godfather figure.
I think theyve done a really good job on it.
Sundays masterclass cast a wide net over Parfitts career.
The thing I have done much more in recent years is to hide behind a casting director.
I was quite defensive about the casting process.
It was a family arrangement, he said.
I now have a regular [casting agent].
If you get the support of the agent, its much better.
I am talking about the London agents.
I get quite grumpy with the Americans…
I make a run at avoid American agents who I think are the worst.
I think they are the least creative people on the planet.
If you, the agent, like it, put it to your client.
The agents in America will go, Whats the offer?
They want a money offer before they will show it.
