Movie Trailer #2: Mrs. Peppercorn’s Magical Reading Room
In September,we posted a teaser trailerfor English writer/directorMike Le Han’s short period film titledMrs. Peppercorn’s Magical Reading Room. Han has released a second trailer onQuiet Earth, this one featuring completed special effects. Shot earlier this year, the dark fantasy short is about “a little girl who meets Mrs Peppercorn a shop owner set in a remote Cornish fishing village.”
The Reading Room book shop has stood empty and untouched for 9 years until Eloise an adopted little girl moves to the village. She doesn’t expect what she discovers.
Le Han and his wife/co-writer Helen Le Han have a co-production deal with Little Freddie Productions to develop a trilogy loosely based on the short film. I’m impressed with the visuals in the trailers and can’t wait to see the full short. Last we heard, Le Han was submitting the short for the Bafta and Oscar in 2011.
