The film made its debut at TIFF this month to very encouraging early reviews, noting the comedy really lives up to its genre. And with less than two months before it hits cinemas on our shores in the UK, Lionsgate has launched the first trailer.
Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is a larger-than-life safecracker with a loose fuse, funny, profane, and dangerous. Back on the streets of London after twelve years in prison, it’s time to collect what he’s owed for keeping his mouth shut.
Travelling with his devoted best friend Dickie (Richard E. Grant), Dom visits his crime boss Mr Fontaine (Demián Bichir) in the south of France to claim his reward. But Dom’s drink and drug-fuelled ego decides that what he’s lost can’t be replaced. One car accident and a femme fatale later, Dom realises that his priority must be to reconnect with his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke). But Dom does what Dom does best. He screws things up for everyone…
Law is joined on screen by Richard E. Grant, who plays Hemingway’s best friend Dickie, alongside Demián Bichir, Emilia Clarke, Madaline Ghenea, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett.
Shepard (Girls, 30 Rock) is directing from his own script, with the Oscar-winning Jeremy Thomas (Sexy Beast, The Last Emperor) producing.
Dom Hemingway will be hitting UK cinemas on 15th November, a good few months before its US release date, set for April 4th next year. In the meantime, here’s the first taste of what’s to come with the first trailer. Enjoy.
