Good news for Danny Dyer fans, his latest feature began filming yesterday, Tuesday 17th September 2013. I'm really looking forward to this one as Danny is now choosing meatier roles than he has done in the past, moving away from the cockney wideboy characters he is well known for. I wish JK, Danny and the cast and crew all the best, and let's hope this film is a cracker.
Hitman thriller Assassin starts shooting, more cast announced
London - Production has commenced on hitman thriller ASSASSIN written and directed by JK
Amalou and produced by Jonathan Sothcott. The film stars Danny Dyer, Martin
Kemp and Gary Kemp. It is the first time the Kemp brothers have starred
together in a film since cult classic The Krays.

In
addition it is announced today that Anouska Mond (ill Manors), Holly Weston
(John Carter), Eddie Webber (The Firm), Robert Cavanah (Fall of the Essex Boys)
and Deborah Moore (Die Another Day) have joined the cast. “I think JK and I
have put together a really cool cast,” says producer Sothcott, “I have had my
eye on Anouska Mond for some time, I think she’s really got something about
her.” Amalou adds “we searched long and hard looking for our leading lady but
as soon as I met Holly Weston I knew she had what it took to play the complex
part of Chloe. The female characters play a bigger part in our story than is
usual in films of this type and I really feel we have nailed the casting.”
The
movie, which will be distributed in the UK and Australia by Anchor Bay, will be
filmed on location in London, Sussex and Surrey. “I want to show a side to
London that isn’t just Soho and Canary Wharf,” says JK Amalou, “really make the
city into a character. But I also want to get out of London, life extends
beyond the City.”
Assassin
tells the story of Jamie (Dyer), a professional hitman hired to kill corrupt
politician Tony Boyd (Cavanah) by mobsters John and Lee Alberts (Gary and Martin
Kemp). The night of the hit he meets Chloe (Weston) and begins an affair with
her, only to discover that she is Boyd’s estranged daughter. Spurred on by her
friend Alex (Mond), Chloe begins to think that Boyd’s death was not the
accident it appears and when she begins digging, the Alberts hire Jamie to kill
her too. As his world collapses around him, Jamie has to chose between survival
and the girl he loves in an action-packed climax that can only end one way –
death.
Assassin
is a Richwater Films/Silver Leaf Productions co-producion.
