Status: Lost

Hippie Hippie Shake is an unreleased English drama film directed by Beeban Kidron and written by Lee Hall and William Nicholson, produced by the company Working Title Films and was supposed to be distributed by Universal Pictures[1] starring Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller.

Premise

Hippie Hippie Shake follows a English trial in which Richard Neville, the editor of the Australian satirical magazine Oz, and his colleagues are apprehended with obscenity for a sexually explicit issue.

The film serves as a metaphorical journey through the 1960s in London.[2]

Availability

The Production company began development of the film in 1998[3] but the film was repeatedly delayed, changing directors and screenwriters. Only In September 2007 the principal photography began.[4]

The film had a public screening for test audiences in 2008 and received mostly positive reviews.[5] But in 2011 Working Title said that the film wouldn't be released for the sake of acquiring a tax write-off for the executives.[6]
