Ammonite: first poster for Francis Lee’s new film

God’s Own Country director Francis Lee has completed his second movie, and the first poster for Ammonite has now landed. Production was officially underway on the second film from director Francis Lee back in March 2019 and wrapped in the middle of last year. Lee sprung to prominence off the back of his excellent debut, God’s Own Country (pictured), and he’s penned the screenplay for his sophomore movie too, that’s going by the name of Ammonite.
