Hippie Hippie Shake movie production status is currently Completed
February 17, 2015 • Awaiting release by distributor; release date not yet announced
An account of counterculturalist Richard Neville's misadventures in London at the end of the 1960s.
Who's Involved:
sexual content including strong dialogue, graphic nudity, drug use throughout, and language
Plot: What's the story about?
The film will use a famous obscenity trial involving the Australian satirical magazine Oz as a metaphor for a journey through the swinging '60s in London. The magazine was transplanted to London, where Neville and his cohorts became the defendants in the longest obscenity trial in English legal history after a sexually explicit issue aroused the ire of the Obscene Publications Squad. The trial ended with the defendants sentenced to hard labor, but an appeal absolved them, with the provision that they stop publishing the magazine. Cillian Murphy will play Neville.
