Large is a gross-out teen comedy which centres on Jason, the son of a fading rock star, and his comic attempts to fulfill the conditions of his father's will in order to inherit a fortune.
The pre-production period was relatively long, with writers Mike Dent and Justin Edgar draughting 20 versions of the script.
[1] Large was filmed and edited at Pebble Mill Studios[2] and on location in director Edgar's hometown of Birmingham, UK, for six weeks in March and April 2000 on a budget of £1.4 million.
It was the first film of Director of Photography Robbie Ryan (Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights) and Editor Eddie Hamilton (Kick Ass, X-Men: First Class).
[3] Large premiered at the Cannes Film Festival market in May 2001[4] and was sold for distribution in Spain, France, Germany, Australia and other major territories.
