How was The Boat That Rocked produced to appeal to a UK audience?

1) Actors

- The film contains a strong British cast, including well known actors such as Bill Nighy and Nick Frost (above).

- This plays off of audience expectations, after having seen them in previous movies, they make several assumptions about The Boat That Rocked.

2) Script

- British films do not ride on the excitement and accesibility which fuels many Hollywood movies. Instead British films focus on a strong script and casting, full of British humour.

- The film is set in and around Britain, with mostly British characters. This helps the audience relate to the characters and empathize with them.

3) British Culture and History

- The storyline of The Boat That Rocked revolves around events in British history and involves very British characters, such as the typically striaght politicians.

4) Working Title Films

- Working Title Films, founded in 1983, are a renouned British film company, responsible for such films as Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz. They have also produced many famous rom-com's such as Love Actually and the Bridget Jones series.

- Having a reliable British film company backing the film, it would make the audience feel comfortable that it will be a film they like.
