The Light Fantastic: A Ballroom Dance Comedy
Starry Cast Joins Forces for Cornestone’s Latest Production
A star-studded cast has come together to bring the heartwarming and hilarious The Light Fantastic to life. Jeremy Irvine, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Layton Williams, and Rupert Everett have joined forces to bring this ballroom dance comedy to life.
Inspired by a true story, The Light Fantastic follows the journey of a 30-something gay firefighter who dreams of becoming a professional ballroom dancer. Set in Blackpool, the firefighter must battle the rigid traditions of the ballroom world under the close watch of his ultra-traditional instructor, played by Rupert Everett.
Production Details
The film is produced by Debbie Gray of the UK’s Genesius Pictures, who has previously worked with Cornerstone on Good Luck To You Leo Grande and The Radleys. Production is set to begin in the UK in early 2025, with choreography provided by the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas and her son, Mark Ballas, who is a professional dancer in the US on Dancing With The Stars.
"At the heart of this film is the importance of love and acceptance in the face of bigotry, hate, and fear," said Gray. "I’m excited to bring this glorious and upbeat film to the big screen."
Cornerstone Co-Presidents Weigh In
"The Light Fantastic is a perfect fit for our first AFM in Las Vegas, full of dance, comedy, and great music," said Cornerstone Co-Presidents Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder. "We’re thrilled to bring this exciting project to buyers."
