Paddy Considine is an absolute favourite of mine. In my opinion Dead Man’s Shoes is one of the best films ever made and I’m pleased to see that the awesome actor is now turning his hand to directing. His debut film is Tyrannosaur and stars Peter Mullan, Eddie Marsan, Olivia Colman and played the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Below are some new images from the movie which have popped up on the Toronto Film festival’s website as it is due to play there before its UK release on October the 7th.
TYRANNOSAUR is a powerful and affecting drama from feature writer / director Paddy Considine. It follows the story of two lonely, damaged people brought together by circumstance. Joseph (Peter Mullan, WAR HORSE, NEDS) is an unemployed widower, drinker, and a man crippled by his own volatile temperament and furious anger. Hannah (Olivia Colman, HOT FUZZ, PEEP SHOW) is a Christian worker at a charity shop, a respectable woman who appears wholesome and happy. When the pair are brought together, Hannah appears as Joseph’s potential saviour, someone who can temper his fury and offer him warmth, kindness and acceptance. As their story develops Hannah’s own secrets are revealed — her relationship with husband James (Eddie Marsan, HAPPY GO LUCKY, SHERLOCK HOLMES) is violent and abusive — and as events spiral out of control, Joseph becomes her source of succour and comfort. A gripping drama, defined by powerhouse performances and a deeply affecting story. TYRANNOSAUR is a WarpX / Inflammable Films Production financed by Film4 and the UK Film Council in association with Screen Yorkshire, EM Media and Optimum Releasing.
