THE film now arriving, just in time for the school holidays, is a new take on an old favourite … and with a familiar face.
The Railway Children Returns is a sequel to the ever-popular children’s film from the 1970s and is now playing in cinemas nationwide.
Among the cast is Zac Cudby, a nine-year-old who plays one of the lead roles, Ted. The film also stars Jenny Agutter, Tom Courtney and Sheridan Smith.
He spent eight weeks filming the movie in Yorkshire last year.
The youngster is a member of the Spotted Talent Agency, which operates a theatre group in Shinfield.
Earlier this month, other members enjoyed a film premiere of their work at the Roseate Hotel in The Forbury.
And the work is leading to success.
Members have landed parts in a short film, Do They See What I See?, a commercial for the Co-op, and parts in a new animation.
They were chosen following a casting session by Michelle Jones of Brilliant Casting who selected children exclusively from the film school.
The agency also represented Elijah Sholanke and helped him land the role of Young Alex Antetokounmpo the NBA star with online coaching. Disney Rise charts the rise of the basketball stars which is now streaming on Disney+ Elijah is in the white tuxedo and flew to LA for the premiere in June. Elijah was supported by the agency as he spent three months in Greece last year during production.
