Burns. It is based on the true story of the disastrous attempt by the amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst to complete the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in 1968 and his subsequent attempts to cover up his failure. The film stars Colin Firth, Rachel Weisz, David Thewlis and Ken Stott. It is one of the last films scored by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2018 by StudioCanal. Cast
ProductionThe project was first announced by The Daily Mail in October 2013, as a biopic about yacht-racer Donald Crowhurst, who gave misleading reports of his position in the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race which implied that he had sailed around the world[3] when he had actually remained in the Atlantic.[4] Scott Z. Burns wrote the screenplay; Colin Firth was reported to be considering portraying Crowhurst and Kate Winslet the role of his wife, Clare.[4] On 27 January 2015 it was announced that James Marsh would direct the film, which StudioCanal, Blueprint Pictures, and BBC Films would produce. StudioCanal and BBC would finance the film which had been developed by Christine Langan.[5] StudioCanal would handle the international sales at the European Film Market and would also distribute the film in the UK, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.[5] The producers would be Peter Czernin, Graham Broadbent, and Scott Burns, with Nicolas Mauvernay and Jacques Perrin of Galatée Films.[5] On 31 March 2015 Rachel Weisz was reported to be in discussions to play Clare.[6] On 20 May 2015 Weisz was confirmed as Clare, and David Thewlis, Ken Stott and Jonathan Bailey joined the cast.[11] This is the second collaboration of David Thewlis and director James Marsh after The Theory of Everything. Bailey's casting was confirmed by Deadline on 27 May 2015.[7] FilmingPrincipal photography on the film began on location on 20 May 2015 in the United Kingdom.[8] In early June 2015 filming was underway in Teignmouth, Devon,[9][10] and in mid-June, the production was spotted filming at the Isle of Portland in Dorset.[11][12] By late July, filming had moved to Malta,[13] where some scenes were planned to be shot in the water tanks at Mediterranean Film Studios in Kalkara.[13][14] During the filming, Colin Firth was hospitalised with a hip dislocation.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} The Mercy was also part shot at West London Film Studios.[15]ReleaseIn November 2017, Roadside Attractions acquired US distribution rights to the film.[16] It was initially scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2017,[17] but was eventually moved to 9 February 2018.[18] Despite this, it was screened for awards consideration to members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in New York City on 28 November 2017,[19] followed by two screenings in Renfrew Street, Glasgow on 5 December[20] and Fountain Park, Edinburgh on 7 December that year.[21] Noting that another film based on the same story was also being produced, Studiocanal (the producers of The Mercy) purchased the rights to its competitor Crowhurst, promising to release it soon after the release of the larger-budget production.[22] ReceptionOn review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 75% based on 79 reviews, with a weighted average rating of 6.25/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Mercy sails on Colin Firth's layered central performance, which adds necessary depth and nuance that the story sometimes lacks."[23] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[24] See also
