Apple has debuted the trailer for the British gangster thriller Down Terrace, which, according to The Playlist, has been quietly racking up the accolades during its festival run. The film will be released in New York and Los Angeles on October 8, and will expand in the weeks after.
Down Terrace is directed by Ben Wheatley, and its principal cast members are Julia Deakin, Sara Dee, and Robert Hill. The trailer certainly makes it seem to be an genre-leaping effort, and even though I’m not very familiar with the talent involved, I’m looking forward to giving this one a shot.
Plot: DOWN TERRACE stars real life father and son Bob and Robin Hill as Bill and Karl, the heads of a crime family struggling to keep their business together as infighting and a police informant in their midst threaten to unravel it completely. Featuring stars of such beloved British TV shows as “Spaced,” “The Office” and “Extras,” the film is a pitch black comedy that alternates unexpectedly between shocking violence and realistic, even moving family drama.
