Production of Simon Pegg's 'Angels in the Asylum' Halted Due to Financial Crisis

The British indie film remains on indefinite hiatus as producers seek funding to address a £600,000 wage gap and unpaid crew members pursue legal claims.

Filming of 'Angels in the Asylum' was halted just 15 days into its planned month-long production due to a budget shortfall caused by failed financing.
Crew members, totaling around 150 people, are owed £600,000 in unpaid wages, with some pursuing legal action to recover their pay.
Producers Rob Sorrenti and Heather Greenwood, who have personally invested in the project, continue working without remuneration to secure new financing.
Parkland Pictures, the film's distributor, denies financial responsibility but has expressed interest in helping the project find funding to resume production.
The film, based on true events, aims to highlight historical injustices against women in the 1930s, a mission the producers remain committed to despite the setbacks.
