Bruen Bound For The Red Carpet 2011

London Boulevard

Release Date: Release date not yet set

Distributor: Still looking for distribution

Directed By: William Monahan

Cast: Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, Ray Winstone, David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Matt King, Stephen Graham

Quick Thoughts: William Monahan, writer of both Kingdom of Heaven and The Departed, wrote and will direct London Boulevard, an adaptation of the Ken Bruen novel, which will star Colin Farrell as a South London criminal who, after release from prison, tries to give up the gangster life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive young actress. Co-starring are Keira Knightley, Ray Winstone and David Thewlis. On top of Monahan's credits as a screenwriter and the film's cast listing, Monahan has brought on Oscar-winning cinematographer Chris Menges and the Oscar-nominated editor of Memento Dody Dorn. A lot of potential here.
