Tyrannosaur is a 2011 British drama film written and directed by Paddy Considine, his first feature film. It depicts an environment similar to what Considine witnessed growing up on a council estate in the Midlands, although the film is in no way autobiographical. It stars Peter Mullan, Olivia Colman and Eddie Marsan, with Paul Popplewell and Sally Carman. The film's title is a metaphor, the meaning of which is revealed in the film. It was filmed in Spring 2010 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The film is an expansion of Dog Altogether, a short film for Warp Films that Considine wrote and directed, which won the Best Short Film BAFTA and BIFA awards as well as the Silver Lion award at Venice in 2007. Mullan and Colman also appeared in the short film with Karl Johnson. Popplewell was also in the original short, but in a different role. Wikipedia [ - ]
