London Boulevard
Opens: July 30th 2010
Cast: Keira Knightley, Colin Farrell, Ray Winstone, David Thewlis, Anna Friel
Director: William Monahan

Summary: A freshly released ex-con from South London attempts to stay out of the way of a ruthless loan shark by finding honest work at the Holland Park mansion of faded movie actress. As his violent past catches up with him and his disturbed sister is threatened, he is forced to act.

Analysis: One of the most promising looking thrillers of next year, this suspense drama is based on the acclaimed novel by crime author Ken Bruen. Most notably though it marks the directing debut of “The Departed” and “Kingdom of Heaven” screenwriter William Monahan who also adapted.

Though on the surface sounding like a British spin on “Sunset Boulevard”, the story takes some dark and unexpected turns and includes some pointed commentary about the younger stars of today, especially those famous for their hard-partying lifestyle.

The crew is stacked with Oscar winners running all the major departments, similar to the damn impressive cast including Ray Winstone as the aggressive crime boss, David Thewlis as an agoraphobic business manager, and other talent like Stephen Graham, Jamie Campbell Bower and Ben Chaplin in supporting roles. Should hopefully be very good.
