hollywoodreporter.comOscar nominee Sally Hawkins and Rhys Ifans have joined Mark Rylance in the comedy-drama The Fantastic Flitcrofts from director Craig Roberts.
The indie sees Rylance play Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist who managed to enter the British Open golf tournament in 1976, only to record the worst round in Open history and become a folk hero in the process.
Jake Davies, Christian Lees, Jonah Lees, Mark Lewis Jones and Johann Myers complete the ensemble cast as production on The Fantastic Flitcrofts gets underway in the U.K.
