We've managed to bag some information and clips from a new Brit flick opening
in the UK this coming Friday, DEAD MAN'S CARDS.
DEAD
MAN’S CARDS is a gritty underworld thriller in the tradition of The Long Good
Friday, and early Scorsese. Set in Liverpool, in the tough nocturnal world of
club land, the film stars Paul Barber, Tom Bell, Samantha Janus, Gary Mavers and
James McMartin. DEAD MAN’S CARDS is director James Marquand’s first feature, and
is produced by him along with Matthew Whyte and Sigvaldi Karason. Executive producers
are Steven Corless and Phillip Evers. Los Angeles-based Shoreline Entertainment
is handling worldwide sales for the film. DEAD MAN’S CARDS is a presentation of
Stray Dogs Productions Ltd and was filmed at the Liverpool Film studios and on
locations in the North West of England.
The
story is conceived as a modern western where ex-Boxer Tom gets work as a doorman
at a run down nightclub. The volatile head doorman Paul is a battle hardened veteran
who recognises Tom for the fighter that he once was, and guides him through the
ins and outs of life as a club land ‘peace keeper’.
Tom soon finds
out he has entered a world of trouble when Chongi, the head of the largest security
firm, has a score to settle with Paul, and stakes an interest in the down at heel
night-club. As the tension escalates Tom is forced to question his new loyalties,
and find out whether he has lost the bottle for a fight.
The
film stars Paul Barber (THE FULL MONTY), Tom Bell, Samantha Janus and Gary Mavers.
Here's
a bunch of clips from the film itself. DEAD MAN'S CARDS opens in the UK on December
15th.
