Death Wish director Michael Winner is to make a rip-roaring comedy with an all-star cast, he revealed yesterday.
John Cleese, Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley, Joanna Lumley, Oliver Reed and Diana Rigg are likely to meet sticky ends in Parting Shots, which starts shooting this week.
"The film is an out-and-out comedy. There will be no blood, no gore, oh dear!" he said. Winner describes it as: "Not Death Wish in drag, but rather like Kind Hearts And Coronets where Dennis Price killed off a large number of family members all played by Alec Guinness."
