Nick Love and Danny Dyer are back together for the new British film Marching Powder. And hereās the first trailer for it.
Director Nick Love and star Danny Dyer are taking something of a swerve for their new film, the freshly-announced Marching Powder.
Due in cinemas next year, the press announcement we’ve just received describes it as a “an outrageous, proper naughty comedy about addiction, violence, and happy endings”. Said announcement also tells us that the trailer for the film is a bit rude, and that we’re not allowed to cut it in any way, although we’re allowed to offer you an explicit content warning.
We’d best do that. The trailer for Marching Powder includes fruity language, a bit of talculm powder, a relatively disrobed lady and Danny Dyer using his fists to interface with people.
It’s a film that reunites Danny Dyer with director Nick Love (here they are talking about the film Outlaw, with some effing and jeffing), the latter being behind films such as The Football Factory (in whose world Marching Powder is set), The Business, The Sweeney and The Firm (not the Tom Cruise version).
Danny Dyer plays against type here as a bit of a football hooligan who likes to play around with his substances. Working from a script by Nick Love, the film then follows him on his adventures as he tries to get his life on the straight and narrow, while avoiding being invited to a room with some bars on its windows.
Here then is the trailer. There’s an element of see you next Tuesday to this, so don’t blare it over the office speakers, else you’ll be on first name terms with HR. Unless you are HR, in which case you make the call.
Here’s the trailer…
And just to whet your bleedin’ appetite some more, the synopsis.
There’s romance, there’s comedy, but this ain’t no ‘rom-com’…Set in the irreverent and profane world of cult classic The Football Factory, MARCHING POWDER is a hilarious, poignant and action-packed big screen comedy-drama. The film follows the story of Jack Jones (Danny Dyer), an aging, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together. Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his firm of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison.
Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law, and his unhinged 25-year-old brother-in-law, Jack tries to get his life back on track, but his world slowly starts to spiral out of control. Can Jack overcome his inner demons, or is he heading for jail?
Marching Powder will be in cinemas in 2025.
