The full trailer for the upcoming Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins has dropped over on Empire magazine’s official YouTube channel. The prequel film in the hit British crime franchise comes to cinemas on September 3rd with most of the series’ cast coming back. Vinnie Jones and Keith Allen are also amongst the cast of the movie, which is directed by Nick Nevern who also co-wrote the screenplay with Andrew Loveday.
The new film is set against the backdrop of the late 80s rave scene.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When a down-on-his-luck Tony Tucker lands a job as a nightclub doorman after saving the owner’s grandson, he will do whatever it takes to rise to the top of the game. Teaming up with Essex heavyweight Bernard O’Mahoney at the height of the 1980s rave scene, Tucker could do no wrong.
A voracious appetite for money, drugs, and a glamorous lifestyle soon develops, fueling his growingly audacious ventures and seeing him join forces with Pat Tate and Craig Rolfe to capitalise on the drug-boom. Packed with fights, revenges, and explosions, the ultimate origin story brings Rise of the Footsoldier full circle, and tackles many of the franchise’s previously unanswered questions.
Here’s the new trailer.
