I don’t know if you’re familiar with Horrid Henry (I wasn’t until Sunday) but it’s the brand new movie from Vertigo Films based on the best selling series of books of the same name by Francesca Simon and Tony Ross. The books have since been turned into a TV series and now it’s ready for the big screen. It’s also the first British kids movie to be shot in 3d.

Horrid Henry: The Movie stars Anjelica Huston as Henry’s terrifying teacher Miss Battle-Axe, alongside, Rebecca Front as Henry’s headmistress Ms Oddbod, Richard E Grant as a rival headmaster and Parminder Nagra as Miss Lovely.  Noel Fielding makes an appearance as Killer Boy Rats’ frontman Ed Banger, joining Jo Brand as the Demon Dinner Lady, Matthew Horne as Henry’s Dad and Prunella Scales as Great Aunt Greta.  And introducing new young stars, Scarlett Stitt as Moody Margaret, Ross Marron as Perfect Peter and Theo Stevenson as Horrid Henry. Nick Moore helms the project as director with a script from Lucinda Whiteley.
