E1 Entertainment have just sent us this brand new trailer for a new British-made movie called The Big I Am. The movie stars Hollywood legend, Michael Madsen, and includes a host of British talent including Stephen Berkoff, Vincent Regan, Leo Gregory, Robert Fucilla and Beatrice Rosen. The trailer has a sort of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrell’s vibe going for it and looks like it could be a great movie. It’s directed by Nic Auerbach.
Synopsis: Small time crook Mickey Skinner (Leo Gregory, Cass) is unwittingly catapulted into the big league, when the getaway car he steals has infamous gang leader Barber (Vincent Regan, 300) captive in the boot.
Threatened by Barber and out of his depth, Skinner must make a choice. Become one of them or be killed.
The gang are poised on the brink of a lucrative human-trafficking deal and after being framed by one of his own, Barber can trust no-one. Can Skinner step up to the challenge and become THE BIG I AM?
The Big I am is released on DVD 12th April and you can buy it here. Check out the trailer below.
Please note, it does contain swearing and women not wearing much (!):

Good to see director Nic Auerbach is still around but shame the Guardian didn't have space to mention how, when he ran Storm Films in the 90s, Auerbach was notorious for screaming fits, and how he reduced any number of office managers at various post houses to tears. I knew one woman who would actually go and hide when she saw him coming rather than deal with him.”The article:

Pretentious rubbish hardly begins to describe this particular film. Script, acting, directing, all fight for the accolade of being the worst of the decade never mind year. If this is the best that Britain has to offer, then it is time to head to LA as the Big I Am makes even the worst American dross more enjoyable. Auerbach might be delusional enough to think his vision is quirky and interesting and it might well be if you are fortunate enough to watch it after drinking 12 pints, but I deeply regret I wasn't and therefore struggled to watch it through to the end. I can only surmise that the funding for this atrocity, came from the City and sincerely hope that Mr Cameron puts in place his banking reforms to prevent any further disasters being visited on the poor British public.
