Kaya Scodelario crossbows up
The team behind UK home-invasion thriller Tiger House are out in Cannes touting their wares and the film has a new poster to help them do just that. Before it adorns a strategic spot at the festival's film market ('Le Marché du Film' if you want to go all Gallic), here's a first glimpse of the film's cast in one-sheet form. {Tiger House poster} Starring Kaya Scodelario of Skins, Clash Of The Titans and soon The Maze Runner fame, it's putting a spin on the traditional genre ploy of having an unlikely schleb search for the hero inside himself, find it and use it to beat trespassers upside the head with. Here the woman - Scodelario's crooked gymnast - is the hero of the piece and her boyfriend the one in need of rescue.
Unusually, the 'c' in her R.I.C.E. recovery programme seems to stand for 'crossbow' rather than 'compress'. She'll need it judging by the look of ringleader Dougray Scott and his band of desperados, as she seeks to protect her nearest and dearest from harm.
The film has been shooting in Cape Town with debut director Thomas Daley behind the camera and Ill Manors’ Ed Skrein in front of it. Expect it in UK cinemas and, depending on Glass Man Films' Cannes distribution deals, elsewhere, later this year.
