The Inbetweeners Film [100th Post]


The Inbetweeners is an upcoming film directed by Ben Palmer, who directed all six episodes of the second series of The Inbetweeners. Even though the plot has yet to be confirmed, what has been announced is that the film will follow the four boys on holiday in Malia, Crete. Filming began on 6 February 2011, with filming beginning in Mallorca, Spain on 19 February 2011. It stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, who all play their respective characters from the 2008 sitcom. Film4 and E4 are funding the film, and it will be released in cinemas on 19 August 2011.

In the film the boys meet a group of four girls while on holiday to Malia, Crete. Scenes are said to include fantasist Jay being terrorised by a nine-year-old local who pulls his swimming trunks down; Will getting sunburn in the shape of a penis; and Neil getting intimate with a dinner lady from his junior school as well as getting a dodgy tattoo. The boys indulge in shambolic skinny-dipping and ‘suicide shots’ of tequila, while Simon nearly drowns after a boat trip.


According to Smart’s Bizarre column ‘the best scene in the film involves Will reserving sunbeds, an angry hardman and a child in a wheelchair’.The cast revealed in an interview on Alan Carr's 'Chatty Man' show that they had already travelled to Malia to film a thirty second sequence on Malia's infamous club strip.
