Best known as for their classic New Romantic music as part of pop group ‘Spandau Ballet’, Martin and Gary Kemp made an impressive cinematic impact as the devious sibling duo THE KRAYS in Peter Medak’s cult 1990 classic crime thriller. The brothers will reunite on screen for the first time since their roles as the legendary gangland slayers in British thriller ASSASSIN. They’ll play The Albert brothers in the film being led by Danny Dyer and produced by Jonathan Sothcott.
Sothcott’s commented:
The Krays is one of the best-loved British films of all time, an untouchable classic that only a lunatic would remake, but at the core of that movie are the fantastic performances of Martin and Gary. Reuniting them for Assassin is a real coup, a dream come true, and I know their army of fans are going to love seeing what unpleasant plans they have for Mr Dyer.
ASSASSIN is a Richwater Films and Silver Leaf co-production produced by Sothcott. It will be written, produced and directed by HARD MEN and DEVIATION’s J.K. Amalou. Shooting begins in London next month for a release in 2014.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
