Interesting facts

Angels in Notting Hill is a 2016 independent fantasy film written and directed by Michael Pakleppa. An international co-production of the United Kingdom and Germany, it stars Selma Brook, Ryan Mercier, Tina Gray and Stefanie Wallis; it also features the voice of Christopher Lee, in one of his last film roles following his death in 2015. The film's plot follows an angel named Joy (Brook) who falls in love with a lonely human widower, Geoffrey (Mercier).

Production

Prior to the production of Angels in Notting Hill, actor Christopher Lee was attached to appear in a live-action film adaptation of the 1968 novel The Last Unicorn. According to director Michael Pakleppa, the adaptation, which was to be produced by Continental Film, "didn't work out in time".

It surely wasn't meant as a farewell [for Lee], but as a funny little intermezzo between his next big jobs. But I always wanted to see, or at least hear, him in roles that were not the usual villain horror stuff, but as ironical, sarcastic, warm-hearted, philosophical, and in many ways deep and wise as he really was. So, I took the chance to have in the film, since he was incredibly wide and open for experiments.

Angels in Notting Hill was filmed in London, England, between 2012 and 2015. Shooting took place in Notting Hill, Bayswater, Little Venice, the Grand Union Canal, Hackney, Brighton and Abney Park.
