The very first City Of Tiny Lights trailer has launched. The British drama, which stars Riz Ahmed and Billie Piper, debuted at last year’s London Film Festival to huge acclaim, and will reach cinemas across the UK from 7th April, 2017. The film is a portrait of contemporary London, and is co-written by author Patrick Neate, based on his novel of the same name.
Here’s the plot.
Meet Tommy Akhtar (Riz Ahmed), cricket fan, devoted son to an ailing father and deadbeat private eye. He’s got an office above a cab firm, a taste for cigarettes and bourbon, and a finely tuned moral compass that he keeps hidden behind a sharp cynicism. When Tommy walks into his office one morning to find high-class prostitute Melody seeking his help, he’s launched into a story that plays as an utterly original modern noir.
The film is directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point, Dredd), and also stars Cush Jumbo (Josephine and I, The Inbetweeners) and Roshan Seth (Indian Summers, My Beautiful Laundrette).
