Simon Pegg Film ‘Angels In The Asylum’ Halts Shoot Indefinitely After Funding “Crisis” Leaves Crew, Producers & Suppliers Out Of Pocket

'Angels in the Asylum,' a British indie film starring Simon Pegg and Katherine Waterston, is on an indefinite hiatus after running out of cash.

Angels in the Asylum set out to tell an important story about women incarcerated against their wishes, but has created a messy legacy in which crew members are said to be owed at least £600,000 in wages. Inspired by true events, Angels in the Asylum co-stars Minnie Driver, Cush Jumbo, Miriam Margolyes, Rose Williams, Aurora Perrineau, and Alex Jennings. Angels in the Asylum is housed at special purpose vehicle AITA Films Limited, with first-time feature director Rob Sorrenti serving as producer alongside Heather Greenwood, who co-produced Gavin & Stacey: The Finale.
