The Rise Trailer – Luke Treadaway & Matthew Lewis get into Brit crime

August 7, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Although it did the festival rounds under the title The Wasteland, this new Brit crime flick is now going by the name The Rise. Empire has debuted the trailer for the movie, which hits UK cinemas on September 20th (and DVD on September 30th).

It’s got a pretty good cast, including Luke Treadaway (Attack The Block), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom in Harry Potter), Iwan Rheon (Misfits) and Timothy Spall.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Battered, bruised and under arrest, Harvey Miller (Luke Treadaway) sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, Detective Inspector West (Timothy Spall) has no doubt in Harvey’s part in a foiled robbery, and his subsequent attempted murder of local businessman Steven Roper. Denying everything, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. We take in his release from prison a month earlier, and the malevolent, unjust act that put him in there. We see his emotional reunion with his sibling-like best friends, and the immovable loyalty they have for one another. We see the rekindling of a lost love, a second chance for two people meant for each other. We see the ingenious planning of the ill-fated robbery, the amazing twist, the shocking outcome and the real driving force behind it – retribution. What unfolds is an exhilarating, moving and hilarious story of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, revenge and the pursuit of happiness.’ [Read more…]

Vicious Trailer – Take a look at Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi’s new gay sitcom

April 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


British sitcoms can’t normally claim major international star power, but Vicious brings together gay acting legends Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi and also features the likes of Frances De La Tour (who no Brits will recognise as Harry Potter’s Madame Maxime) and Misfits star Iwan Rheon.

The sitcom sees McKellen and Jacobi as an ageing gay couple, Freddie and Stuart, living in London’s Covent Garden, who still aren’t ‘out’ despite being together for 48 years. De La Tour plays the couple’s feisty best friend Violet, while Rheon is their new neighbour, Ash.

The series was co-created by Will & Grace writer Gary Janetti and award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill, with Ed Bye (Red Dwarf) directing. There’s no definite air date set for the show yet, but it’s expected to his UK screens towards the end on April. [Read more…]

After two weeks in which we’ve been reviewing all the Boys On Film gay short film compilations, we’re finally come right up to date with Cruel Britannia. As the title suggests, all 10 shorts on the disc come from the UK and cover a broad range of gay-allied themes, most of which tend towards the darker side of life.

It’s a great selection, showing there’s a lot of talent out there in the UK working on LGBT themed film projects. Here’s what we thought of the shorts. [Read more…]
