Glazer also indicated the two projects were both inspired by his interest in photos of Germans thrilled by the horrors they were witnessing. Loach’s new film, The Old Oak, is set around the last remaining pub in a small mining village in the north-east. A wave of Syrian refugees have been housed nearby, leading to tensions with the locals, including those played by I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You supporting actor Dave Turner. Loach’s regularwriter, Paul Laverty, also returns. Haynes also re-teams with a frequent collaborator, the actor Julianne Moore, for his latest film, May December. Moore plays a woman whose marriage to a much younger man (played by Charles Melton) is tested after an actor (Natalie Portman) interviews the couple about their relationship.
