Trailer: Russell Tovey gets shirtless in The Pass

the_pass_toveyAdapted for the screen by John Donnelly from his hit play, The Pass is the story of three very different nights over 10 years in the life of a Premier League Footballer.

Jason (Russell Tovey) is at the beginning of his career, and on the night before his first big international match he and long-time friend and team-mate Ade (Arinze Kene) share a hotel room, trying to beat the inevitable pre-match tensions with locker-room banter and teenage high-jinks. Out of nowhere Jason kisses Ade.

The emotional repercussions of this pass, and the decisions that follow on and off the pitch, have a major impact on every aspect of the public and private lives of both men across the next decade, in a sporting world where image is everything.

The Pass will be presented as part of the BFI London Film Festival before being released in cinemas December 2016.
