February release for Brighton Rock remake

An all-new adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel Brighton Rock hits the big screen next February with a cast which includes Helen Mirren, John Hurt and Sam Riley as Pinkie Brown.

The film charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager determined to rise through the ranks of organised crime.

Written and directed by Rowan Joffe, whose credits include the screenplay for the The American, the film is produced by Paul Webster for Kudos Pictures with funding from Optimum Releasing and has been made in association with BBC Films and the UK Film Council’s Premiere Fund.

Brighton Rock opens 4th February 2011
