Claire Foy on Richard E. Grant: "An Extraordinary Person. It Was Really, Really Fun" | Savage House

Claire Foy spoke to HeyUGuys at the Savage House SXSW London Premiere at the Barbican, London, where the star — who plays the wickedly driven Lady Savage — reflected on what drew her to this darkly comic period world, working alongside Richard E. Grant, and why she believes the film stands entirely on its own terms. With comparisons to The Favourite and The Great already circling, Foy was characteristically measured but unmistakably proud. Interviews for Savage House at the SXSW London Premiere. The film stars Richard E. Grant, Claire Foy, Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine and Pip Torrens, it was written and directed by Peter Glanz. Linda Marric and Madison Hart ask the questions. Plot: Set in 18th-century England against the backdrop of a devastating pox outbreak and the Jacobite Uprising, Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage are at their lowest — their house crumbling, their reputation in tatters — until the imminent visit of a higher-ranking nobleman spurs them into a frantic bid to restore their former glory. Written and directed by Peter Glanz, the film is a darkly comedic period satire anchored by two outrageously hilarious performances from Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy. Savage House will be released in cinemas on 5th June 2025. #SavageHouse #ClaireFoy #PeterGlanz #SXSWLondon #HeyUGuys #PeriodDrama #DarkComedy #RichardEGrant #UKFilm #RedCarpet --------------------- For syndication or usage opportunities please contact [email protected]. --------------------- More from HeyUGuys: Website ► http://HeyUGuys.com Follow us on Twitter ► http://twitter.com/HeyUGuys Subscribe here! ► http://bit.ly/HeyUGuysYTSub Facebook ► http://facebook.com/HeyUGuys Instagram ► http://instagram.com/HeyUGuysOfficial TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@heyuguysofficial ---------------------
