To Be Someone

To Be Someone is a British film loosely related to the 1979 film, Quadrophenia. The film is directed by Ray Burdis and written by Pete Meadows. It was expected to release in April 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Background

The film is directed by Ray Burdis. The film stars some of the original Quadrophenia cast, including Gary Shail, Toyah Wilcox, Phil Daniels and Leslie Ash. This film was however based on the book sequel, which itself was based on the rock opera. Ray Burdis has specifically said that the movie is not a sequel to the original Quadrophenia movie, though it does feature some of the characters, and is set in the mod subculture.[2]

Plot

The film, like the book, changes some aspects of the story. The story focuses on the mod revival era, and specifically the son of Jimmy. Two of the original main characters, Jimmy and Dave, make an appearance.[3]

Cast

Production

Filming took place in England. The story was written by Pete Meadows.[5]
