Fun Facts

The Christophers (2026) is a black comedy where greedy siblings Barnaby (James Corden) and Sallie (Jessica Gunning) hire struggling art forger Lori Butler (Michaela Coel) to secretly complete their dying father Julian Sklar's (Ian McKellen) unfinished "Christophers" paintings, planning to "discover" them after his death for profit. Lori infiltrates his cluttered London studio posing as an assistant, igniting sharp clashes over art, legacy, and family resentment in a tense chamber drama.
