Ripper Tour
Ripper Tour is the story of an American tourist, Jacqueline Butcher, who decides to take in some of London’s East End history and finds that she herself has a supernatural connection with its dark past.
The film will star American cult favourite Lynn Lowry and feature a cameo from British film, stage and screen legend Dudley Sutton.
We plan to shoot the film on location, as close as possible to the sites of the actual historical events.
Jason Read is our film director, editor, writer and composer. Through his company Robo Films he has directed and produced a number of films in recent years including ‘THE LANDLADY’, 'THE SITTER’, 'AFTER HOURS’, 'FACE BOOK’, LOST SOUL’, ‘FRANKULA’ and 'BAD FRIDAY' and has collaborated closely with The Misty Moon Film Society. Jason also freelances and teaches film making at Raindance.
Stuart Morriss is our producer and Curator of Misty Moon. Stuart produced the critically acclaimed FRANKULA and it's sequel BAD FRIDAY.
"I have always been interested in the dark and quirky side of things and horror has always been a favourite genre of mine. The story of Jack The Ripper has always fascinated me and to be working with two icons of the film world is a dream come true."
Lynn Lowry plays Jacqueline Butcher an American tourist on holiday who gets embroiled in the legend of jolly Jack. Lynn has starred in some of the most iconic horror films of the 70s and 80s including "The Crazies", "Shivers". Lynn has recently won awards for her work on "Model Hunger" and she starred in "The Neighbours" which was filmed in Canterbury in 2015.
Dudley Sutton plays Jack The Ripper who terrorised the streets of Whitechapel. Dudley has had a prolific career in film, television and stage over 50 years. His film credits include "The Leather Boys", "The Boys" and "The Football Factory" to name a few. Dudley will always be fondly remembered as playing Tinker Dill in the BBC's "Lovejoy".
Charlotte Mounter plays Mary Kelly the last historical victim of Jack The Ripper. Charlotte has worked with Lynn Lowry 2 years ago on the horror film "The Neighbours" and has also worked with Robo Films and Misty Moon on the comedy/horror "BAD FRIDAY".
