After a long and distinguished career, Michael Caine has announced his retirement from lead film roles aiming to instead focus on supporting parts. Having burst on to the film scene with the likes of Get Carter and Zulu, the erstwhile Mr Micklewhite has been an enduring screen personality in fare ranging from Jaws: The Revenge through to Hannah And Her Sisters. His final bow comes in the shape of debut helmer Daniel Barber’s Harry Brown. The weight of playing host to a true legend like Caine’s last lead role could have overshadowed most films, a feat which Barber attempts to sidestep with his bold, if flawed, entry into the revenge film canon.
Caine stars, in a role pitched somewhere between Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino and his own Get Carter, as the titular Harry Brown, a man very deeply at odds with modern Britain. He is a lonesome

Nick Love (Outlaw, The Business, The Football Factory) revisits Alan Clarke's (Scum, Made in Britain , Rita, Sue and Bob Too!) seminal late 80's TV movie about the violent casual firms that warred on and off the terraces of British football clubs. Love's new film tentatively titled "the firm 1984" is set some years earlier than Clarkes opus and revolves around a different character. Dom, a young wannabe football casual, who get drawn into the charismatic but dangerous world of the firm's top boy, Bex. Accepted for the fast mouth and sense of humor, Dom soon becomes one of the boys. But as Bex and his gang clash with rival firms across the country and the violence spirals out of control, Dom realises he wants out – until he learns it’s not that easy to simply walk away.
The film stars Daniel Mays as Yeti, Calum McNab as Dom and Paul Anderson

What a name.. Nick Love. He doesn't have to use a line like "I'm not trying to impress you or anything.. but I'm Batman!" he just says, "Love, Nick Love" like he's the porno Bond or something. Anyways, Love is known for his film The Football Factory and Outlaw and he even executive produced Bronson (which I'll be watching this Friday, yeah!) and even though the short clip we have after the break really doesn't show much of anything I'm expecting great things. I've come to love the whole football hooligan thing and this is a coming of age story set to an 80s funk jazz track. Slated for a fall release.
Loosely adapted from Alan Clarke's 1989 classic TV film, Nick Love's film is set earlier in the 80's and retells a similarly story to the original - but from a different character's point of view. The film centers on Dom,
