Ken Stott, Charlie Creed Miles and more aboard the drama
With Gemma Arterton and Idris Elba locked in to star, director Jim O’Hanlon has been busy building the rest of the ensemble for his slice-of-London-life drama A Hundred Streets. Les Miserables’ Samantha Barks is aboard alongside Charlie Creed-Miles, Ken Stott, Steven Mackintosh, Tom Cullen and Emma Rigby.
Set in the teeming metropolis, A Hundred Streets aims to be something in the vein of Crash or Amores Perros, weaving between characters at different financial levels of the city. Barks is on to play Lotte, the former flame of rich playboy Jamal (Adam Bakri), who meets him again alongside her best pal (Rigby) and sends him down a criminal path that finds him chased by security guard Gordon (Mackintosh).
Creed-Miles is cab driver George, a man with dreams of fatherhood who must deal with a life-shattering disaster. Cullen will be a friend of Emily (Arterton), who may be the person to help her get her life sorted. Stott, meanwhile, will be an aging actor named Terrence who helps a young drug dealer who’s trying to leave the narcotics world behind. While we were quietly hoping Elba might be bringing John Loofah to the film, he's actually playing a former rugby superstar.
With a script by Leon Butler, the film is shooting now in the capital and will be out sometime next year.
