Compared to the other trailers that we’ve seen so far this full trailer for Filth is a little bit tamer than we’re used to but it still shows the form in which James McAvoy’s latest will take. The movie stars James McAvoy, Jamie Bell, Imogen Poots, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Broadbent and Eddie Marsan and comes from the novel written by the fabulous Irvine Welsh. Jon S. Baird takes the helm as director and also wrote the screenplay. Check out then trailer below but it’s probably still rather NSFW!
Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?
Let us know if you’re looking forward to this one in the comments below. Filth hits Scottish cinemas on September 27th and the rest of the UK cinemas on October 4th.
