A tough and emotionally charged new trailer for Paddy Considine’s second feature film, Journeyman, has been released.

Considine makes his second appearance behind the camera, as well as in front of it, after his directorial debut Tyrannosaur, won numerous awards including the Outstanding Debut Award at the BAFTAs in 2012.

Also, having written the story, Considine also stars alongside the new Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker, Anthony Welsh (My Brother The Devil), Tony Pitts (War Horse) and Paul Popplewell (’71). Many of the supporting cast make their acting debuts and take on roles that closely mirror their actual professions with appearances from boxers, boxing commentators, nurses and occupational therapists. Journeyman was developed and shot in close collaboration with the boxing community and medical profession.

The film will be released by StudioCanal on February 16th 2018

Journeyman Official Synopsis

Journeyman tells the story of middleweight boxing champion Matty Burton (Paddy Considine). After winning a punishing title defence on points, Matty collapses at home. The journey towards regaining his speech, movement and memory will be the toughest fight he’ll ever face, and the prize could not be greater, for his relationship with his wife Emma (Jodie Whittaker) and baby daughter Mia are on the line… Journeyman is a powerful and beautiful story about loss and, ultimately, triumph. It’s about our identity, and how in life we sometimes have to dig deep into our soul to discover who we really are.
