Unreleased Cillian Murphy Film: A Box Office Mystery
29 Mar
Summary
- Film "Hippie Hippie Shake" was shot in Surrey in 2010.
- It featured stars like Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller.
- Critical reviews suggest it was never released due to poor quality.
A film titled "Hippie Hippie Shake," produced by Tim Bevan and filmed in the picturesque Silent Pool, Surrey, in 2010, remains unreleased. The movie featured prominent actors Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller in leading roles.
Murphy portrayed Richard Neville, the editor of the counterculture magazine Oz, which was central to an infamous 1971 obscenity trial. Miller played Neville's then-girlfriend, Louise Ferrier.
Despite its star power and intriguing subject matter, the film reportedly never reached the public. Local historian Trevor Brook suggested it was due to the film not being regarded as very good.
Critic Felix Dennis famously described the previewed film as "possibly the worst film to be made in the 21st Century," while another critic, Matt Robinson, offered a more positive view, calling it educational and a good document of history.
