An hilarious comedy about a gruelling endurance contest to win a car - whoever keeps their hand on it the longest wins. Based on his own upcoming and internationally pre-sold novel, Show of Hands is adapted and helmed by Anthony McCarten (Via Satellite and The English Harem) and will be shot by Lord Of The Rings assistant-lenser, John Cavill, with a cast lead by Melanie Lynskey. Up-and-commer Craig Hall will co-star. Lynskey will play Jess, a beleaguered metre maid who is impossibly nice and careful, and who is drawn - for reasons she can't understand - to fellow contestant Tom, (Hall) a failed businessman, who is outrageously self-serving and irreverent. In the end, both have something vital to learn from each other if they are to survive in the ultimate Show of Hands contest - life itself.
