While his mother struggles to keep the family business afloat and his father copes with the onset of a mid-life crisis, Edward becomes increasingly obsessed with the ghosts and afterlives of the residents when they die. Edward''s is a lonely existence until he meets Clarence (Michael Caine), the latest arrival at the home, a retired magician and grieving widower who refuses to give in gracefully to old age. Their relationship begins at odds until Clarence notices that the boy is growing up even more fitfully than he is growing old. As they begin to face life together, Clarence comes to terms with his past, Edward tames his obsession with the unknown and they are both reminded of what magic is possible when life is lived to its fullest. LONG SYNOPSIS It''s 1987 and this is the story of Edward, a somewhat unusual ten year old boy growing up in Lark Hall, a retirement home run by his parents. Whilst his mother struggles to keep the family business a float, and his father copes with the onset of a mid-life crisis, Edward is left to his own devices amongst the unlikely cast of characters who populate the home. There''s Bob, a frantically twitching and shell-shocked World War One veteran; Ena, a kindly kleptomaniac convinced she''s still a housemaid in the Royal household; Elsie with her prosthetic leg, and the very dapper Reg, an ageing philanderer who still fancies his chances as a ladies'' man. But besides taking rides on the stair lift, Edward has little interest in the home or its frail, senile residents save for a somewhat morbid fascination with ghosts and the afterlife: he is secretly tape-recording the old people to see if he can capture on tape the sounds of their souls escaping as they die. But Edward''s lonely and unhealthy existence is about to be rudely interrupted by the latest recruit to the home, Clarence - a peppery retired magician with a liberating streak of anarchy. A grieving widower who is gradually sliding into senility, Clarence has been sent to Lark Hall by Social Services and arrives at the home chronically depressed. Fiercely skeptical about being thrown together with a random group of old people, Clarence is equally resistant to the questionable charms of a ten year old boy. Clarence and Edward''s relationship gets off to a rocky start, with Edward resenting the interloper who has stolen his bedroom, and Clarence refusing to believe that he should be there at all. Feeling ignored by his parents, and slightly fearful of the aging residents, Edward decides to step up his ghost hunt, setting off the fire alarm and locking himself into the home to set up ghost traps (with talcum powder on the floor to capture ghost prints). Neither Edward''s Mum nor the Fire Department are pleased, and when his mother disciplines him in front of the residents shivering on the gravel drive, Edward decides to run away. But just as he is making his escape, he notices fumes coming from Clarence''s van. Curious, he opens to the door to find a semi-conscious Clarence near death from carbon monoxide poisoning. Edward''s intervention saves Clarence''s life, and while he is recuperating in hospital, Edward explores his room, finding photographs of Clarence as a young magician, tracing his career and his relationship with his assistant - and wife - Annie. Edward is moved by this treasure trove of memories, and begins to realize that Clarence, like the other residents in the home, was once young like him. He begins to feel penitent about his behavior. Edward goes to visit Clarence in hospital, and starts to warm to this irascible old man. Meanwhile, Edward''s father is increasingly preoccupied with the cheerful, attractive young nurse (Tanya) who is helping around the house. His parents are drifting apart. But Edward begins to view life at Lark Hall in a different way as his friendship with Clarence develops. Soon enough Clarence is picking Edward up from school and they begin to form an unexpected friendship. Knowing Edward''s ghost-hunting hobby, Clarence even tries to engage Edward''s interest by staging a séance on the workbench in the cellar one night. On the day of Edward''s birthday, one of the residents, Lilian, suddenly drops dead. Worse, she dies at the exact moment that her daughter from Canada arrives for a visit. This understandably scuppers Edward''s birthday plans as his parents have to relocate Lilian''s body and calm her relatives. While his parents are with Lilian''s daughter, Edward charges into her room with his tape recorder, desperate to trace any evidence of ghost activity. But this morbid instinct evaporates the moment he touches the cold body - the corpse exhales one final breath of air, terrifying Edward. To make matters worse, his mother comes in and catches him hiding in Lilian''s room with his tape recorder, and is furious with him for being so disrespectful to the dead. Distraught with his mother''s anger, and believing that he''s finally heard a ghost, Edward goes up onto the roof to console himself. His friend Clarence comes out to join him, and pulls out a few magic tricks to try and distract the boy. It seems to work and Clarence finally understands that if he''s really to bring Edward out of his morbid fixation with death, he needs to give him something to focus on. So Clarence persuades him to forget his birthday debacle by giving a party for his school friends, at which he will perform a magic show. In preparation for the big day the duo head to an old lock-up garage full to the rafters with Clarence''s old magical regalia - sequined costumes, flags, trick apparatus, and a small guillotine. It is a neglected but very magical place. On their way home it is clear Clarence''s age and incipient senility is catching up with him as he grows disorientated and crashes the van. Uninjured but shaken, the pair struggles to shift the van. Edward can tell his old friend is losing his bearings and shares his thoughts on reincarnation. Clarence suddenly loses his temper with him and breaks down, telling Edward how he ruined his marriage to Annie by cheating on her, so she divorced him. He has never even seen her grave. When they get home things go from bad to worse. Edward heads up to his room to listen to his tape recording from Lilian''s room only to find himself eavesdropping on a taped conversation in which his father declares his love for Tanya, the attractive 18 year old student who helps around the home. It''s all on the tape and Edward''s not really sure what to do about it. Soon after, Edward has his bizarre birthday party - a group of eleven year olds playing musical statues in the main lounge at Lark Hall, surrounded by elderly residents. Clarence is all dressed up to do the magic show, but his star guillotine act turns into a disaster when - owing to his Alzheimer''s - he accidentally cuts off old Bob''s finger. Ambulances and paramedics arrive. Upset and traumatized, Edward has a showdown with his parents and plays the tape recording of his father and Tanya. All his fears are coming out now - his loneliness, the potential death of his friend, his distance from his parents. Worse, when his mother hears her husband''s infidelity on the tape recording, there follows a serious rupture between his parents. The next day Edward runs away with Clarence, determined to take his friend to visit his wife Annie''s grave. Clarence by now is entering a twilight world of intermittent lucidity and Alzheimer''s, and follows along with Edward. After a long journey by train and bus, they find the grave but Clarence is confused and cannot make sense of his wife''s name on the gravestone. Defeated and demoralized, they are collected by Edward''s parents who realize that they have neglected their son and need to reorder their family priorities. During the car journey home, a minor miracle of reconciliation occurs, as Clarence wakes up and mistakes Mum for his dead wife, Annie. When he makes an emotional apology to her, and asks her forgiveness, Mum complies, and Clarence''s buried regrets seem to ease away. The whole family drives on home feeling somehow touched and closer to one another. From here starts a new and stronger relationship between them all. Edward''s parents are giving it another go, with new efforts at courtship between them, and the atmosphere at home is decidedly more upbeat. And when Clarence finally and peacefully passes away, Edward finds the last tape recording of the two talking about a magic card trick, which Clarence has been teaching him and which he has finally learned. Is Anybody There? tells the surprising, touching story of how an odd couple - a boy and an old man - help each other face the ordinary catastrophes which daily life brings. THE FILMMAKERS ON THE PRODUCTION John Crowley (Director) "This is not a sentimental film, a zany comedy or a grim earnest social drama. The script is rather unique - an incredibly finely observed, true-to-life, very British yet universal story, with a wicked sense of humour, cliché-free dialogue, and a rich and unpredictable world of characters who very rarely make it onto our screens. With this material I wanted to make a film characterized by an exceptional acting ensemble and a very particular comic tone. The humour and pathos of the script are not obvious; it is subtle and subversive and full of telling detail. With fantastic characters actors working alongside the central performers, and a wry camera style that seems to catch them unawares, I wanted to capture the loneliness of Edward''s world, the confusion and the longing for connection, but with a mischievous, life-affirming humour never far from the surface." David Heyman (Producer) "I''ve long wanted to work with John Crowley. He is an exceptional and exciting talent, and I was delighted that he immediately saw the potential in writer Peter Harness''s story. We were blessed that Michael Caine responded with such enthusiasm to the central role of Clarence, and he has delivered one of his most memorable performances, sparking off Bill Milner''s very moving and truthful performance as Edward. We were also extremely fortunate that actors of the calibre of David Morrissey and Anne-Marie Duff supported this film from the outset, playing the Father and Mother, and it was a joy to build up a brilliant ensemble of veteran British acting talent alongside them, with Leslie Phillips, Rosemary Harris, Peter Vaughan, Sylvia Syms, Thelma Barlow, Ralph Riach and the late Elizabeth Spriggs playing the ageing residents of Lark Hall. Working with such a remarkable ensemble in front of and behind the camera, John Crowley has made a fresh, original film, one that is at once hysterically funny and deeply affecting." Marc Turtletaub (Producer) "We were immediately drawn to the screenplay by Peter Harness which so beautifully and humorously explored the twin themes of growing up and growing old. It was an embarrassment of riches to have our first British production be in partnership with such incredible talents as John Crowley, David Heyman, Michael Caine, Bill Milner and the team at BBC Films." Peter Saraf (Producer) "What struck us early on and what we continue to love in this film is how original and specific the characters are and how universal the themes are. To be able to tackle a subject as broad as the cycle of life with an abundance of humor and grace is rare and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to be a part of it." THE GENESIS OF IS ANYBODY THERE? IS ANYBODY THERE? is an original script by a young British writer Peter Harness, who mined his own childhood for the script. The project began in 2004 when Peter Harness came to meet Rosie Alison (the film''s co-producer) at Heyday Films, after his script for the Dennis Potter award had caught her eye. During the meeting it emerged that Harness had been raised in an old people''s home run by his parents. Alison relayed this promising film scenario to producer David Heyman, who was looking for a project to develop with director John Crowley. Crowley immediately leapt at the notion of a boy living in a retirement home, so Peter Harness began excavating his somewhat unusual childhood to come up with a script which dramatised the unique world of Lark Hall. John Crowley worked on the script development very closely with Peter Harness, David Heyman, and Rosie Alison, and it took two years for the script to reach its final form. Harness drew from the elderly residents he had grown up with, but the creation of the anarchic retired magician Clarence B. Parkinson was entirely original. Michael Caine was the first choice for the role of Clarence, and he responded at once to the script. But his filming commitments meant that production had to be delayed until the autumn of 2007. The role of Edward was the other major casting challenge, but the remarkable young actor Bill Milner (who had already shown his talent in SON OF RAMBOW) quickly emerged as the ideal choice. BBC Films were the first backers and were soon joined by Big Beach in financing the project. Big Beach''s Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf also came on board as producers alongside David Heyman. Production began in October 2007, and ran for nine weeks, at Elstree Studios and on location. The house which acted as Lark Hall was found at Chalfont St Giles near London, and the coastal locations were filmed in Kent.
