On June 23rd, the UK voted to leave the EU after being a member of the union for over 40 years. The result shocked many including plenty involved in the world of film.
The likes of Bill Nighy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Richard Curtis, Jude Law, Keira Knightley, Danny Boyle and Benedict Cumberbatch amongst others, all added their names to an open letter urging voters to back remain. But the result didn’t go their way and many stars have since taken to twitter to express their disappointment:

Come on Andy, give us a defeat today, thereby guaranteeing this will have been the worst week in English history since Dunkirk.

And sadly, the past is too often the UK's default setting. https://t.co/bclUObNJS4

For Scots' sake: what if the English now had a referendum to leave the UK, so the Scots could retain EU membership? Are we all happy?

It's sad but probably true that the decision to leave the EU can simply be explained by a massive generational divide. We've been let down.

What’s next for Britain, only time will tell but it certainly doesn’t look positive in the eyes of many of the countries greatest film talent.

They need to stop moaning and get used to it! We have our country back at last and there’s nothing these overpaid fuckers can do.
