In a Landfill Far, Far Away . . .
'Some Legends Refuse to stay Burried!'
In a Landfill Far Far Away (2027)
Celebrating 50 Years since A New Hope (1077) hit the cinemas we bring you a crazy spoof (or is it?) an exciting documentary based on a conversation in a pub about the search for 'The Palitoy Pit', a now mythical burial site for the last Star Wars figures ever produced by UK toy manufacturer, Palitoy, in the legendary mining town of Coalville.
In May 1985, all manufacturing was moved overseas and in 1994 the Palitoy site was closed for good. But what happened to all those unwanted Star Wars figures? Fast forward to 2026 and these toys could now be worth tens of thousands of pounds in the thriving collectibles market. Rumour has it that Luke, Han and the gang were thrown into one or more secret landfill sites and 'The Palitoy Pit' myth was born. The Legend stayed buried…until now.
New details have emerged in Coalville of possible locations for the haul. As a massive rail infrastructure ploughs towards some of the suspected burial sites, the clock is ticking. Marc Hammil takes up the quest and calls upon his trusty compadre and wingman Ryan Flamson. Director Matt Holt picks up his camera for one last vintage toy caper. Can they solve the mystery and find the treasure or will a rich toy collector & rival film crew swoop in to steal the glory?
Follow us budding treasure hunters for a NEW new hope, the quest for 'The Palitoy Pit'. Fortune and glory, kid. fortune and glory!
Here’s a interview with the Director and Producer of the film, for CPR Radio Drive Time with hosts Harry & Cameron.
'In a Landfill Far, Far Away' is currently in production and will be seeking finance & distribution.
