Shakespeare Sisters & Candr Pictures have announced that their star-studded British sci-fi comedy Time Travel Is Dangerous, will be coming to UK cinemas from 28th March.
Written and directed by Chris Reading and co-written and produced by Anna-Elizabeth and Hillary Shakespeare (the Shakespeare Sisters), the film stars British comedy royalty in Johnny Vegas (Benidorm, Bleak House), Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous), Sophie Thompson (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Gosford Park) & Mark Heap (Spaced, Green Wing).
Narrated by Stephen Fry the film also features stand-out performances from Brian Bovell (Love Actually, Gimme Gimme Gimme), Tony Way (After Life, Game of Thrones), Guy Henry (Harry Potter, Bridgerton: Queen Charlotte), Tom Lenk (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Laura Aikman (Gavin and Stacey, Archie) & Kiell Smith-Bynoe (Ghosts, Stath Lets Flats).
Time Travel Is Dangerous is a quintessentially British comedy, blending witty dialogue, quirky characters and a touch of the absurd with a heartwarming core.
The ensemble cast surround best friends and shop owners Ruth Syratt and Megan Stevenson, who play characters based on themselves, bringing their own vibrant personalities and undeniable chemistry to the screen. The film is set around their actual Muswell Hill vintage shop ChaChaCha, bringing a real-life documentary element to the sci-fi mockumentary.
Best friends Ruth and Megan run a vintage shop in Muswell Hill. When they stumble across a time machine, it occurs to them that stock is much cheaper if they ‘borrow’ from the past - well, it’s free. They don't want to change history, or rob banks, they just want to find a nice Victorian lamp or authentic 80s bum bag without getting sucked into the hellish time-space vortex that is “the Unreason”. The thing is, Time Travel Is Dangerous.
Time Travel Is Dangerous celebrated international premieres at Austin Film Festival, FrightFest Halloween & Trieste Science+Fiction Festival where it has received critical acclaim with Sci-Fi Now calling it "endearing, surreal and funny" and MovieJawn labelling it a "hilarious, exciting, nerve-wracking adventure that made me question my beliefs on what a sci-fi movie is supposed to be."

Short filmTranscript
00:00I don't really like the word retro but people like to say it but we just basically sell
00:24anything that we can get our hands on really that's from the past.
00:27Meet Ruth and Megan, two vintage shop owners with one big secret.
00:32We found this thing, it was literally by the bins.
00:34Yeah and then I guess we were just messing about and...
00:38And I went to 1945.
00:47Your time machine is in the hands of two of the most stupid, most ignorant, low intelligence
00:51people in Muswell Hill.
00:52Oh that's nice.
00:53Oh hello.
00:54The whole process is cut cost right down.
00:57It's a lot cheaper in the past where it's free.
01:03The machine is damaging the universe in ways that we could never have foreseen, like a
01:07Shetty hates his car.
01:08I think it's gone.
01:09Careful.
01:10More careful than that.
01:11A secret society.
01:12Time travel is completely impossible.
01:13A lost dimension outside of time.
01:14Chaos, all is chaos.
01:15A game of life and death.
01:16Let's play.
01:17A struggle to save reality as we know it.
01:32Time travel is dangerous.
01:33It is not recommended if you are pregnant.
01:34It can also cause serious side effects including hair loss, nausea, sweats, gambling addiction,
01:38kleptomania, serious allergic reactions, heart failure and death.
