The Film was written and directed by Richard Curtis, well known director who has worked with the company before to direct films such as Four Weddings and A Funeral.  In Production, principal photography took three months lasting from March to June 2008.


Inspired by the British pirate radio revolution in the '60s, the majority of the film's shoot took place in a large rusty metal fishing trawler just off the coast of England.

In 1966 the BBC played only two hours of rock and roll every week. But pirate radio blasted rock and pop from the high seas 24 hours a day. And more than half the population of Britain listened to these pirates every single day.

This means that the film is likely to make a connection with older audiences, who may be able to relate to the actual even
