Australian comedian Sam Campbell is set to premiere his new series 'Make That Movie' on Channel 4 on May 28. The show is a show-within-a-show where Campbell plays a pompous director who invites the public to share their ideas for movies, which he and his dysfunctional crew then develop into real feature films.

Campbell's character in the series isn't exactly like him in real life. According to the show's director, Joe Pelling, the character is 'maybe a version of Sam if he was quite a lot thicker and way more arrogant'. Campbell himself says he doesn't really analyze his work too much - he just goes with his gut and sees what's funny. He doesn't overthink it, and that's what makes it work.

The series has a 'real-life cartoon feel' to it, with the crew wearing matching purple jumpsuits. Pelling wanted to create a show that didn't feel bleak and strange. Campbell's brand of comedy is a perfect fit. The show features a rotating cast of fictional members of the public, many of whom are played by well-known comedians in the UK. They're all talented, and they add to the show's humor.

Campbell's standup comedy has been praised for its unique style, which swings between hammy overacting and childish belligerence. He's established himself as one of the most thrillingly irreverent voices in British comedy. His appetite for prank-adjacent subversion has earned him a loyal following. He's appeared on shows like 'Taskmaster' and 'Last One Laughing UK', and that's only added to his popularity. He's become a household name, and people love him for it.

'I don't want anyone to get properly shaken up, but it's OK if people kind of grimace at Super-Breast,' says Campbell, referencing one of the show's more bizarre characters. 'I hope she doesn't get a fanbase.' He's not trying to shock people, but he won't shy away from it either.

The show's premise isn't easy to describe. It's essentially an anthology series where each episode features a new movie idea from a member of the public. The crew then develops the idea into a real film, which is premiered at the end of each episode. The show is a unique blend of comedy and film-making. It's set to be one of the most interesting series of the year. People won't know what to expect, and that's what makes it exciting.

Campbell's co-stars in the show include Lara Ricote, who plays his people-pleasing assistant Jess. Ricote is a huge fan of Campbell's work, and she says she trusts him to make something funny. 'With Sam, I trust with my heart that it's gonna be funny,' she says. She's not wrong

  • Campbell's humor is infectious, and it's caught on with audiences.

The show has been influenced by a range of sources, including Michael Palin's 'Ripping Yarns' and the documentary 'Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr Moreau'. Campbell and Pelling are both fans of catastrophic film shoots, and they drew inspiration from these sources when creating the show. They're not afraid to take risks, and that's what makes the show so interesting.

'Make That Movie' is set to premiere on Channel 4 on May 28, and it will also be available on HBO Max in Australia from May 29. The show is a must-watch for fans of comedy and film-making. It's set to be one of the most talked-about series of the year. People won't want to miss it, and they won't be disappointed.
