TOOTH, a fantasy adventure comedy for all the family, starring Harry Enfield, Stephen Fry, Jim Broadbent, Richard E Grant, Phyllida Law, Jerry Hall and Vinnie Jones, will open in cinemas across the United Kingdom on Friday, 13th February, 2004.

TOOTH is produced by Susie Brooks-Smith, Zygi Kamasa and Simon Franks for Redbus Pictures and Archangel Films, from an original screenplay conceived and written by debutant director Edouard Nammour.

TOOTH tells the story of a young, feisty Tooth Fairy, who lives in a world called Fairytopia that has lost its ability to use magic. Fed up with the way most fairies have forgotten about magic, she decides to give away all of its money and bankrupt her world, two days before Xmas.

When TOOTH realises how much trouble she is in, she realises the only person who can help is the legendary Mrs Santa Claus, who disappeared, along with magic over 100 years ago.

Teaming up with two human children and a number of fairies, who are living incognito amongst humans she sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. Pursued by the evil Plug, a terrifying fairy hunter and his posse, the race is on to save the world before Christmas, Easter and all the holidays are ruined forever.

The film boasts an all-British stellar cast:

Harry Enfield (“Kevin & Perry Go Large”) stars as the sinister Fairy Hunter, Plug and Vinnie Jones (“Mean Machine”, Snatch”, “Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels”), stars as the evil villain The Extractor. Jim Broadbent (“Gangs of New York”, “Iris”, “Moulin Rouge!”) is the voice of

the Rabbit, the overwrought boss of Fairytopia. Stephen Fry (who stars in the forthcoming Merchant Ivory production “Le Divorce”, “Gosford Park”, “Wilde”) joins the cast of “TOOTH, straight from his theatrical directorial debut on “Bright Young Things”, and stars as Pedro, the guardian of retired fairies.

TOOTH also stars Sally Phillips (“Bridget Jones’s Diary”, Emmy and Bafta award winning “Smack the Pony”) as Mom. Tim Dutton (“Bourne Identity”, “Ally McBeal”) as Dad and Phyllida Law (“Saving Grace”, “Peter and His Friends”) as the magical Mrs Claus.

The film stars outstanding young talent, Yasmin Paige (to be seen in the forthcoming release “Wondrous Oblivion”) as the mischievous Tooth, Rory Copus (“Goodbye Mr Chips”) as Tom and Maisie Preston (“Loving You”) as Tolly.

It features cameo roles from Richard E Grant (“Gosford Park” “The Little Vampire” “Jack & Sarah”) with Jerry Hall (who recently performed on stage in “The Graduate” and “The Vagina Monologues”) as his trusty side-kick.
