FILM crews will begin filming a contemporary thriller in the Isle of Man on Tuesday.

CinemaNX, Isle of Man Film and Code Red Productions will start principal photography on Honour on November 8.

It is the debut feature from the BAFTA nominated writer and director Shan Khan and is being produced by Newscope and Parti Productions.

The executive producers are Steve Christian and Marc Samuelson of CinemaNX and Leonid Lebedev and Julie Lebedev of Code Red Productions.

Honour will star Paddy whose acting credits include Submarine, My Summer of Love, In America, The Last Resort, and A Room For Romeo Brass.

John Shimmin, the Minister for Economic Development, said: "Paddy Considine is a brilliant talent. We are thrilled we have secured him for this production particularly after his recent directorial debut with the critically acclaimed Tyrannosaur.

"Honour is sure to repeat the success we have enjoyed with recent releases and will no doubt strengthen our reputation for making top quality, independent, commercial films.

"During their three week stay on the Island the production will spend approximately £500,000 in the local economy.

"In excess of 1,200 bed-nights, around a dozen local crew positions and a minimum of four very valuable trainee positions will be generated by the production during their stay with us.

"These film generated benefits are always welcome particularly at this out-of-season time of year."

After filming in the Isle of Man the crew will move to Glasgow for a further three weeks production.
