Ben Wheatley has surprised everyone by premiering a brand new movie at October’s BFI London Film Festival. Happy New Year, Colin Burstead is the full title of the feature and stars the like of Joe Cole, Charles Dance, Mark Monero, Sam Riley, Asim Chaudhry, Doon Mackichan, Bill Paterson, Neil Maskell and Hayley Squires.
The Playlist says that the film is a family dramedy focused on the titular Colin and his dysfunctional family around New Years.
In the film, a young man named Colin has rented a stately country home for his extended family’s New Year celebrations. He’s the centre of attention until his estranged brother David unexpectedly arrives, throwing the family dynamic out of whack.
Happy New Year, Colin Burstead is Wheatley’s first film since the explosive Free Fire, which debuted at TIFF nearly two years ago to the day.
More as we get it.
