"You have absolutely no idea what's coming." Central City Media in the UK has unveiled an official trailer for an indie dark comedy called Klokkenluider (Dutch for "whistleblower"), the feature directorial debut of British actor Neil Maskell. This premiered at last year's London Film Festival, and still doesn't have any US release set yet. A hapless government whistleblower hides out in a remote Belgian cottage with his wife and two incompetent bodyguards. As a newspaper journalist travels to the safe-house, unlikely relationships form under the atmosphere of fear, uncertainty and boredom. Klokkenluider also has perhaps the greatest game of charades ever committed to film! The film's "kitchen sink drama and conspiracy thriller elements combine to create an unsettling comedy gem." The film stars Tom Burke, Jenna Coleman, Amit Shah, Roger Evans, & Sura Dohnke. And it's exec produced by Ben Wheatley. This looks damn good! I'm in. // Continue Reading ›...
