When Eddie Horniman (Theo James) first gets into the weed business, it’s not because he wants to. It’s because he’s just inherited his father’s estate, along with the criminal pact that’s secretly funded it all these years, and because he sees no other choice to pay off the astronomical debt that his big brother (Daniel Ings) owes to bloodthirsty cocaine dealers. Thus Eddie dives into the illegal-drug industry out of a sense of obligation, rather than out of any real eagerness to break bad.
The show he’s in, Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, similarly feels like the dutiful product of a prior commitment. Like Eddie, the series tries to deliver what’s expected of it, and like Eddie, it more or less gets the job done. But where Eddie very quickly discovers he’s uniquely suited for the gig he never wanted, the action...

Semi-sequel to the spoof gangland tale muddles comic capers with extreme violence and it’s not helped by a cameo from ‘Crack Ed’ Sheeran
When Adam Deacon sent up the turgid inner-city dramas Kidulthood and Adulthood with his 2011 comedy Anuvahood, he was dissing the hand that fed him: Deacon was one of the stars of the earlier Noel Clarke-penned films, which made it all the more frustrating that none of his barbs hit their target. His aim in the intervening 12 years hasn’t noticeably improved. This new semi-sequel, set in a modern-day London awash with guns and gangs, reunites the earlier picture’s writing duo Deacon and Michael Vu, who are joined by Jazzie Zonzolo, and brings back several cast members. Among them is Richie Campbell, reprising his performance as a lisping thug and still shouting his lines in a bid to make them funny. It’s a tactic...
When Adam Deacon sent up the turgid inner-city dramas Kidulthood and Adulthood with his 2011 comedy Anuvahood, he was dissing the hand that fed him: Deacon was one of the stars of the earlier Noel Clarke-penned films, which made it all the more frustrating that none of his barbs hit their target. His aim in the intervening 12 years hasn’t noticeably improved.

Paramount Global Content Distribution and Paramount Pictures UK have acquired worldwide rights on Adam Deacon’s upcoming action-comedy Sumotherhood.
The studio will release the film theatrically in the UK and Ireland later this year.

The new film is the fourth in the Kidulthood series, after 2008’s Adulthood and 2016’s Brotherhood, the latter of which Deacon did not appear in.

Adam Deacon, the BAFTA-winning star of British indie dramas “Kidulthood” and “Adulthood,” will take on his next directorial project with “Sumotherhood.”
Billed as an urban action comedy, the film sees Deacon reteaming with Michael Vu, with whom he collaborated on the 2011 film “Anuvahood” — his first turn in the director’s seat. Joining them for the new project is writing partner and comedy performer Jazzie Zonzolo.
“Sumotherhood” marks Deacon’s return to the industry after a number of years away. The British actor-rapper broke through in the 2006 drama “Kidulthood,” and went on to win BAFTA’s highly coveted Rising Star award in 2012, beating the likes of Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston. Early in his career, Deacon collaborated on several projects with actor-director Noel Clarke — who was recently subject to multiple sexual misconduct and bullying claims, all of which he denies — but went on to accuse Clarke of bullying and sabotaging his...

Announcing itself as the first "urban comedy" from the UK, Anuvahood aims to knock the stuffing out of bleak dramas set in housing estates, movies like Kidulthood, in which triple-threat talent Adam Deacon previously appeared. Deacon, who co-wrote the script with Michael Vu and co-directed with Daniel Toland, stars as Kenneth, a ne'er do well who has pretensions of being "a bad man" in his neighborhood and dreams of fame in the music world. But he's not as tough as he likes to pretend, as the opening scene -- where he's flattened by a single punch from an authentic "bad man" -- amply demonstrates. Angry and embarrassed, he quits his job at a grocery store and storms off. He's quickly brought back down to...

Written, directed by and starring Adam Deacon, Anuvahood is the antithesis of grimy thrillers set on run-down London housing estates. This is a bright, vibrant film, its knowing costume design differentiating sharply between individuals and sects within the community.
Anuvahood’s protagonist, Kenneth (Deacon), or ‘K’ as he longs to be known, is typical of his ilk. Someone who has watched one episode of The Wire and somehow thinks he is living the life, Kenneth aspires to be a gangster, or at least a gangster rapper. Dressed in cotton jersey tracksuits, wraparound sunglasses, even an ironic ‘Timmy Mallet’ (and Mallet’s Mallet) vest, Kenneth selects random style notes with no real clue as to the statement he is making.

Each central character in the story is given a costume identity. T.J. (Jazzie Zonzolo), probably Kenneth’s closest, in fact only real friend at this point,...

Sky Movies celebrating all things female? Now what could've triggered that...
Blue Sky thinking
Sky Movies has taken a sudden interest in films by women. A new season appeared on its schedules last week, focusing on films celebrating everything female, from "iconic actresses to glass ceiling-smashing directors". It included the films Nine to Five, Erin Brockovich and Thelma & Louise, and showcased directors including Jane Campion and Penny Marshall. Trash was even invited on to a panel to decide on the best female director (Kathryn Bigelow); UK female film exec (Christine Langan, BBC Films); female in crew (Ellen Kuras, cinematographer); female writer (Jane Goldman, Kick-Ass) and one to watch (Emma Stone, star of Easy A). Sky also part-sponsored the launch last week of the Birds Eye View film festival at London's BFI Southbank. The interest is, of course, very welcome and coincided with International Women's Day. However, could there perhaps be an ulterior motive?...
