We’re delighted to announce that Tony Way (After Life, Game of Thrones, Edge of Tomorrow, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) has joined the cast of Stargazers as Mr Smythley — a cantankerous and eccentric office manager with a pivotal role in the film.

Tony’s remarkable career across film, television, and comedy makes him the perfect fit for this role, and we’re beyond excited to welcome him on board.

Check out the trailer for our upcoming feature film 'Stargazers'...

In the quiet country town of Drapery Falls, strange signals are transmitting into the far reaches of space. Best friends Jack and Benji are convinced it’s proof of alien life—and they’re determined to uncover the truth. But they’re not the only ones listening. Something else has intercepted the signal… and it’s getting closer. With just three days before Jack is forced to move away forever, the boys set off on one last adventure to solve the mystery—and maybe save more than just their friendship.

Starring Leo Cropley, Henry Richards, Lauren Cornelius, Neil James, Molly Thomson, Jack Roper, Will Stanton and Gene F**d.
