THE GOOD LIFE
Written by James Handel & Matt and Steve Coogan; directed by Matt Winn; produced by Sarah Sulick and Matt Winn
Starring: Steve Coogan
Company: Funny Peculiar Ltd. in association with Bright Pictures Ltd.
Format: Feature
Genre: Comedy
Comic genius Steve Coogan stars as Roger Wyburn, the ultimate Mr. Fixit for dictators, oil and gas companies, and problematic politicians. Charismatic but completely amoral, Roger is shocked out of complacency when told he has only six months to live. Can he re-balance his karma before it’s too late?
Set in the rarefied world of wealth, power and privilege in London, The Good Life portrays the contemporary media machine at the top of its game, exemplified by Roger’s PR company, Price Wyburn. The film will show us a realm few have access to – hidden away, behind closed doors. On the surface, Roger lives the very best of lives, but his amorality finally catches up with him as he faces imminent death. Then the glitzy exhaustion of his surroundings begins to look tacky and his superficiality is found desperately wanting. And, for the first time, Roger is forced to reimagine what the good life really means.
