According to an official press release, British film and TV star Danny Dyer is set to reteam with Nick Love for new feature Marching Powder. The film is their fifth together following the likes of Outlawâ(2007), The Business (2005) The Football Factory (2004) and Goodbye Charlie Bright (2001), and will be released in cinemas in 2024.
Marching Powder follows the story of Jack (Danny Dyer), a middle aged, drug taking football hooligan, who is arrested and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison. Juggling his marriage, his hard nut bully of a father-in-law and his wayward 25-year-old stepbrother, Kenny Boy, Jack tries to get his life back on track, but slowly his world starts to spiral hilariously out of control.
On the film and reuniting with Nick Love, Danny Dyer commented: âIâm buzzing to be getting back on the horse with Nick, heâs the only f*cking idiot stupid enough. âMarching Powderâ is class, weâre back in the world of The Football Factory with more violence, more drugs and lots of f*cking comedy, youâre going to love it.â
Writer / Director Nick Love commented, âAt this point in my career, itâs either âMarching Powderâ or the dole so thank God Danny Dyer said yes to playing the lead. Itâs gonna be a blast and we canât wait to share the film with the world, if they can handle it.â
The Independent British feature film starts shooting in London in January 2024 and will be released in cinemas by new distributor True Brit Entertainment later that year.
The film marks Dyer’s first film role since leaving hit soap Eastenders.
