The Liar — Investor Brief

Genre: Satirical Drama / Dark Comedy Format: Feature Film Estimated Runtime: 115 minutes Setting: Cambridge University, present day with stylized flashbacks

Logline

A gifted fabulist navigates the absurd pageantry of elite academia, forging identities and truths with ease—until his greatest invention threatens to unravel everything.

Vision

Inspired by Stephen Fry’s audacious debut novel, The Liar is a razor-sharp exploration of deception, identity, and institutional theatre. Through visually rich tableaux and blistering dialogue, the film exposes the surreal similarities between public schools, prisons, and performance art. It celebrates the art of the lie—not as villainy, but as survival, satire, and self-definition.

Stephen Fry’s ‘The Liar’

Thursday, June 4th, 2020

The Liar, based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical comic novel by internationally renowned British institution Stephen Fry, is a fast-paced, rude and very funny comedy about learning to accept who you are in life.

The Liar has been awarded development funding by MEDIA, Creative England and Ingenious Media and is greenlit, and currently scheduling.

We have a very exciting cast lined up making it a ‘Best of British’ ensemble. Official announcement to follow.

A brilliant, manipulative young man, who has a strong compulsion to lie, becomes embroiled in an elaborate ‘game’ of lying and finds himself in a world where nobody can be trusted. This is the educational career of public school student Adrian Healey (Stephen Fry’s alter-ego, and an inveterate liar), whose school pranks somehow get him embroiled in an international espionage case.

mancrush

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Definition:

1. When a straight man has a “crush” on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him. Many straight men end up having man crushes on Johnny Depp (I don’t blame them).

2. A man who has a crush on another man without sexual attraction.

“Hey, Ted. I heard you spent the night over at Dave’s.” “Yeah, we played twister and scrabble and watched movies, and spent all night talking, bizzatch.” “Dude, you’re 35, acting like you’re 12, and you’re using his language. You’ve got a man crush.”

3. For a man to have a very close platonic friendship and/or admiration for another man.

“Ben Affleck has had a man crush on Matt Damon for a long time.”

Synopsis:

Playing with the metro-sexuality of the modern male, two guys competitively argue about which of them is “best mates” with their mutual friend, Dave.

Written by Matt Wheeler and Directed by Tony Hagger
