Latest News About Make That Movie

Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent coverage.

What’s new

• Channel 4 released a first look and confirmed Make That Movie as a six-part comedy series starring Sam Campbell. The show follows a director racing across the country to turn everyday ideas into feature films in a tight three-day window. This aligns with Channel 4’s late-2020s push for high-energy, scripted mockumentary style formats [source coverage from Radio Times and early press rounds]. [cite ]
• Reports in May 2026 reiterated the premiere window on Channel 4, with the series positioned as a lighthearted, high-concept comedy drawing on Sam Campbell’s festival and TV persona. If you’re tracking UK TV schedules, expect a late-May to June rollout in the Channel 4 Comedy slot. [cite ]
• Early reviews and press materials describe a cast including Lara Ricote, Aaron Chen, Helen Bauer, and David Hargreaves, with Joe Pelling associated as director/co-writer; the tone is described as affectionate spoof of film-making rather than straight documentary. Critical reception highlighted it as a fun, fast-paced take on “movie magic.” [cite ][cite ]
• There’s some variation in release-date details across outlets (one piece cites a May 28 air time; others reference “next month” in late May), so I’d recommend checking Channel 4’s official schedule or the Channel 4 streaming site for the exact premiere date and time in your region. [cite ]

What this means for you

• If you’re in Marseille or nearby and want to catch up, you’ll likely have access via Channel 4’s streaming options, subject to regional rights. Since this is a UK production, availability may depend on European licensing and any local streaming partners. [cite ]
• Given Sam Campbell’s recent TV run and the consistent press around the show’s format, you can expect a brisk, humorous mockumentary vibe with recurring crew roles (runner, sound, intimacy coordinator, cinematographer) playing against a go-for-broke production arc. [cite ][cite ]

Practical next steps

• I can monitor for official Channel 4 announcements or press releases to confirm the exact UK premiere date and any regional release notes for France. Would you like me to track updates and alert you when the date is finalized?
• If you’d like, I can summarize and compare initial critical reactions once more reviews come in, or help you set reminders for the premiere in your time zone.
