A FIeld in England

England during the English Civil War. A small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by two men: O'Neil and Cutler. O'Neil (Michael Smiley), an alchemist, forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.

A Field In England is a psychedelic trip into magic and madness from Ben Wheatley - award-winning director of Down Terrace, Kill List and Sightseers. The film is written by Amy Jump and produced by Claire Jones & Andy Starke, with Anna Higgs Executive Producer for Film4. Shooting commences late September. Protagonist Pictures are handling international sales. A Field In England is the latest collaboration between Film4, Wheatley and Rook Films, following last year’s acclaimed Kill List and forthcoming release Sightseers, which premiered to rave reviews in Cannes was released on 30th November by Studiocanal.

A Field In England will be Wheatley's next film before the already announced Freakshift, which is set to shoot in early 2013 in partnership with Film4 and Lava Bear Films. Ben Wheatley says: "It’s great to be continuing the relationship with Film4 and Film4.0. A Field in England is a project that we have been talking about for years and are very excited about making. It brings together the more psychedelic elements of Kill List and Sightseers and weaves in our take on Historical drama."
