This week saw THN cover the world premiere of brooding thriller HUMMINGBIRD (also known as REDEMPTION and CRAZY JOE in some territories) in central London. The film is written and directed by Steven Knight, best known as the screenwriter of Cronenberg masterclass EASTERN PROMISES, and is headlined by British beefcake Jason Statham as Joey Jones. His homeless ex-special forces soldier is on the run from a military court martial after struggling to deal with past events. However, he finds navigating London’s criminal underworld leads to an opportunity to assume another man’s identity, and in turn transforming into a ruthless avenging angel.
We’ve a brand new television spot from the film hitting cinemas from the 28th June and co-stars Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong, Siobhan Hewlett, Christian Brassington and Ian Pirie.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
