Alice Lowe – who can currently be heard in the BBC Radio 4 podcast The Battersea Poltergeist – is starring, writing and directing Timestalker, with HanWay Films getting worldwide rights.

The film sees Lowe’s character through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death and gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. Sam Riley, Natasia Demetriou ) and actor and singer-songwriter Jacob Anderson aka Raleigh Ritchie star.

Alice Lowe said, “It’s so exciting to be working on a grander scale on ‘Timestalker’ — but with the same crafting of script and comedy improv and brilliant actors. This film is my homage to the most romantic epics. Lavish, lush and overflowing with emotion! This film is going to be shameless. All blusher and petticoats and suicidal lovers. The romantic era we all need a pinch of right now! Romance Isn’t dead!”

Vaughan Sivell of Western Edge Pictures added: “We’re so excited to build on the success of ‘Prevenge’ and can’t wait for this new adventure with Alice. ‘Timestalker’ is luxurious and bold and full of heart, and mad obviously. And WEP/Gennaker have the perfect partners for it in HanWay.”

Gabrielle Stewart, managing director of HanWay Films, said: “Alice Lowe is part of a wave of exciting fresh female talent coming out of the U.K. at the moment. At a time when we need laughter and romance, with ‘Timestalker’ she delivers all of that but then twists it and subverts it to give us something truly fresh, irreverent and playful. The rule book is out the window here, and anything is possible!”
