Focus Features has previously experienced success releasing R-rated thrillers at the end of August / beginning of September, with The American and The Debt. This year, it's Closed Circuit, from Boy A director John Crowley and Oscar-nominated Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight, whose well of London-based thriller material seems bottomless. Hit up the image below for a wordy clip with Eric Bana and Julia Stiles, and after the cut, another clip and some more images. This hits US theatres on the 28th of August; unusually for a British film, the UK has to wait to see it... until fucking November! Bitch please.
This looks very good. Thank you. Popped up from nowhere. Tykwer's The International vibe, may be?
ReplyDeleteThat'd be kind of cool. Though I always feel, when watching The International, that there's a much better film in there that somehow got squeezed out.
DeleteAgreed. The International is better than the sum of its parts.
