Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears Film Update

Its been a while since I brought you an update about Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears so I thought it was about time. The film is currently being made in Morocco

Tony Tilse is directing the movie scripted by Deb Cox and produced by her Every Cloud Productions’ partner Fiona Eagger. Lucy Maclaren is co-producer.

The plot sees the heroine set off from 1920s Melbourne on adventures involving murder, mystery and mayhem from London to British Palestine. After freeing Shirin Abbas, a young Bedouin girl (Australian newcomer Izabella Yena) from her unjust imprisonment in Jerusalem, Miss Fisher begins to unravel a decade-old mystery concerning priceless emeralds, ancient curses and the truth behind the suspicious disappearance of Shirin’s forgotten tribe.

Jacqueline McKenzie and Daniel Lapaine are playing a quintessentially British aristocratic couple, Lord and Lady Lofthouse who are old friends of ’ Phryne. Lapaine’s character Lord ‘Lofty’ Lofthouse is described as a man of easygoing charm, the product of generations of wealthy British aristocracy, who served as a high-ranking officer in the Palestinian and Sinai campaigns of World War One. His late parents knew Phyrne’s Aunt Prudence (Miriam Margolyes).

His devoted wife Lady Eleanor is attractive, elegant and civilised. Over the years she too formed a close friendship with Prudence.

Brit Rupert Penry-Jones is First Lieutenant Jonathon Lofthouse, who is more reserved than his older brother Lofty and carries a heavy guilt after serving in WW1. His life has been a house of cards built on a terrible secret since he returned from service in the Middle East.

The ensemble cast includes John Stanton, William Zappa, Ian Bliss and Los Angeles-based Egyptian Kal Naga.
