Shogun Films is producing a British horror movie titled 'Doctor Plague,' set to release in 2025. The film centers around a detective, John Verney, played by Martin Kemp, who investigates a serial killer masquerading as a plague doctor amid a backdrop of an ancient cult. The story incorporates the London underworld and highlights the role of real print media, featuring the East London Advertiser to anchor its authenticity against the prevalence of fake news. The film aims to shed light on the importance of journalism today.
"A key theme of Doctor Plague is the importance of real journalists and traditional print media in an age of fake news, so it was important to make this work."
"I'm very grateful to Toby Granville and our friends at Newsquest for letting us use their East London Advertiser brand and providing real newspapers, something you don't see often in indie films!"
