A trailer has been released for the upcoming British film Bolan’s Shoes which is set for cinemas across the country from September. Timothy Spall, Leanne Best, Mathew Horne and Mark Lewis Jones lead the cast with a debut set for cinemas on 15th September through Buffalo Dragon, in association with Munro Film.
Bolan’s Shoes is set in Liverpool and draws inspiration from the iconic 70s glam-rock band T.Rex, referencing their 1976 Manchester concert. The rest of the plot is fiction – from award-winning writer Ian Puleston-Davies (Silent Witness, Marcella). Puleston-Davies won the “Icon Award”at the Jasper Poppy International Film Festival.
Puleston-Davies also directed Bolan’s Shoes and it was produced by Terri Dwyer (The Stranger in Our Bed) and Dean Fisher. The film boasts an impressive cast, of BAFTA-nominated actor Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, Harry Potter Franchise), Leanne Best (The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, A Town Called Malice), Mark Lewis Jones (The Crown, Gangs of London), and Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey, Bad Education).
The full synopsis is as follows.
Bolan’s Shoes takes us on a tumultuous journey through the height of T. Rex mania in 1970s Liverpool. It captures the heady exhilaration of glam rock mania through the experiences of a group of over-excited kids from a local children’s home before a devastating road accident changes their lives forever.
Years later, and still clinging to the adoration of her childhood idol, survivor Penny takes best friend and fellow Marc Bolan fan, Steffan, to visit his shrine in London, but a chance encounter there catapults her back to the horror she had tried so hard to forget. Light-hearted comedy and supernatural chills abound in this inspirational story that explores the enduring legacy of childhood trauma and the life-affirming power of music.
