“Recently we realised that Daddy Cross was a character who simply would not go away and one late evening came up with what we think is a great and fun idea to continue and build his myth,” says Ne’er Do Well Films’ Evrim Ersoy. “Over the next 10 months we intend to release a series of webisodes which will chart the rise and fall of this fantasy British horror character. Our aim is to keep the whole process as it would’ve been for low-budget filmmakers at the time as well as pay our tribute to British film-making of the era which seems to be strangely under-valued.”
The web episodes will be loosely based on around The Ten Commandments. As well as paying homage to the style, look and the politically-incorrect tone of the era, the filmmakers also hope to give the audience something theyve asked for ever since the trailer went viral: a chance for Daddy Cross to flex his violent, Sin-hunting ways.
Here is the original trailer that got it all started (and won the UK Hobo With a Shotgun Competition) along with a “lost trailer.”
