  MAN WHO STOLE PORTUGAL  

ADS DOMINIC WEST, RICHARD E. GRANT

Movie maker Thomas Napper has started production on his new period set heist movie THE MAN WHO STOLE PORTUGAL and has set Dominic West and Richard E. Grant as cast members with James Nelson Joyce as Alves Reis, a self-made outsider with a genius for turning a closed door into an opportunity. Shut out and underestimated, Reis is determined to give his wife Maria, played by Emily Fairn, and their family the life they deserve, and, hustle by hustle, he begins to invent his way upwards. From forged credentials to official contracts, his journey in the 1920s takes him via colonial backwaters all the way to the boardrooms of the Bank of Portugal – until his greatest bluff becomes one of the greatest cons in history. Joel Fry, Kim Bodnia also star.

   THIS CITY IS OURS  

NEW SEAN BEAN TV SERIES AT BBC

Always committed to glamorizing crime on the small screens, BBC has announced Sunday 23rd March as the start date for their new eight part crime mini series THIS CITY IS OURS which brings the story of Michael (James Nelson-Joyce), a man who for all of his adult life has been involved in organised crime… but for the first time in his life, Michael is in love. For the first time in his life, he sees beyond the day-to-day, he sees a future: something to win and something to lose - Diana (Hannah Onslow). We follow the story of Michael and Diana's love affair, set against the disintegration of Michael’s crime gang. For years, together with his friend Ronnie (Sean Bean), Michael has successfully been bringing cocaine into the City and beyond, directly from Columbia; but when a shipment goes missing, then he knows their Kingdom is under attack. But what happens when Ronnie’s son Jamie (Jack McMullen) decides he wants to inherit their kingdom and that there is no longer a place for Michael at the table. Both Michael and Jamie have bold ideas to modernise the gang and they will battle for control of it. But Michael’s biggest battle will be to save the woman he loves and the child he has always wanted. This is a story about family and love destroyed and corrupted by ambition, pride and greed.
