British films to look out for in 2. Dig past the litterfall of Kray Brothers biopics and tales of nubile teens on camping trips gone wrong, and you’ll unearth plenty for the UK film industry to boast about in 2. From sci- fi romps and thrillers like Robot Overlords and Ex Machina to dramas like High- Rise, comedies like War On Everyone, spy flicks like Spectre and kids’ films like Bill, there’s no shortage of inventive, highly promising cinema coming from these isles. We’ve included a few choice co- productions in 2. Brits can claim partial credit for ace- sounding dystopian flick The Lobster). In alphabetical order then, here are the 3.
UK (or UK- ish) movies we’re excited about seeing this year. It’s based on Square Mile: London, a 2. Leon Butler, and is being sold as a slice- of- life UK picture. Elba’s role is that of a former rugby player estranged from his wife, played by Gemma Arterton, alongside Samantha Barks, Charlie Creed- Miles, Ken Stott and Jamie Foreman. The film marks the feature directorial debut of In The Flesh and A Touch Of Cloth’s Jim O’Hanlon. Absolutely Anything (Terry Jones)As Life Of Brian director Terry Jones tells it, sci- fi comedy Absolutely Anything, co- written with Gavin Scott, was lurking in a desk drawer for a couple of decades before he dusted it off and cast a bunch of his Python pals. Eric Idle, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam (though sadly not, as planned, Robin Williams) all provide the voices for a group of extra- terrestrials who bestow limitless sci- fi powers on a secondary school teacher played by Simon Pegg.
Given the ability to do . Kate Beckinsale and Rob Riggle also star. Expect a July release date for this one. Beyond Clueless (Charlie Lyne)Billed on Kickstarter (where it successfully raised . It comes written and directed by Ultra Culture and The Guardian’s Charlie Lyne, with narration from The Craft’s Fairuza Balk, and unpicks the twisted cores at the heart of post- Hughes high school and teen movies. Early reviews for this one, including those from its SXSW Festival debut, have been very promising.

Watch the official trailer, here. Bill (Richard Bracewell)The prospect of a feature- length episode of the brilliant Horrible Histories should be enough to put Bill, from the creators and stars of the CBBC comedy and Yonderland, on anyone’s must- see list.
Written by Ben Willbond and Laurence Rickard, Bill tells the story of William Shakespeare’s arrival in London as a would- be playwright and an attempt to stop some dastardly royal Spaniards in a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth I. Mat Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe- Douglas, Jim Howick, and writers Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond all appear alongside Helen Mc. Crory, Damian Lewis and more. Expect proper jokes, great comedy performances, and very silly wigs. This one comes out in the UK on the 2.
March. Watch the official trailer, here. Brooklyn (John Crowley)Nick Hornby’s screenplay for Brooklyn is his latest book- to- movie adaptation, following on from An Education and Wild.

Boy A and Is Anybody There?’s director John Crowley is behind the camera for this tale of family, responsibility, love and culture shock, which debuts at the Sundance Film Festival this January. Watch The Full Lady In The Car (2015) The Movie. Ex Machina (Alex Garland)With so few straight- up sci- fi films coming from the UK this year, we couldn’t not snatch UK/US co- production Ex Machina for this list. An intense psychological thriller with a sci- fi bent, Ex Machina introduces AI bot Ava (Alicia Vikander) to coder Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) over the course of a week in the home of Ava’s creator, shadowy internet company boss Nathan (Oscar Isaac). The film marks the directorial debut of writer Alex Garland (The Beach, The Tesseract, 2. Days Later), and all signs point to highly promising for this one. We don’t have to wait too long to find out, either, as it’ll be in cinemas in the UK on the 2.
January. Watch the latest trailer, here. Eye In The Sky (Gavin Hood)Alan Rickman alert: the Rickman’s only scheduled 2.
UK- funded military thriller Eye In The Sky, in which he appears alongside Helen Mirren and Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul.

The thriller was filmed in South Africa and is due for release at an as- yet unspecified date this year.

Far From The Madding Crowd (Thomas Vinterberg)You’ll find this US/UK co- production topping many critics’ most- anticipated films of 2. Thomas Vinterberg (The Hunt, Festen) directs this adaptation of the 1. Thomas Hardy novel, from a screenplay by novelist and screenwriter David Nicholls (One Day, Us).
Carey Mulligan stars as Bathsheba Everdene in a film about changing fortunes, youthful pride, tragic mistakes and secret love. Juno Temple, Michael Sheen and Tom Sturridge also star.(Incidentally, David Nicholls’ next adaptation gig, a Channel 4 drama series based on Edward St Aubyn’s superb Patrick Melrose novels, should also be well worth keeping an eye out for.)Watch the official trailer, here. Hamlet (Sarah Frankcom/Margaret Williams)Benedict Cumberbatch as Hamlet might be 2.
Sarah Frankcom’s cross- cast production starring the terrific Maxine Peake (Silk, The Village, The Theory Of Everything) in the role comes highly recommended by stage types. Peake’s performance was filmed late last year for a limited cinema release, and is due out on 2. March 2. 01. 5. High- Rise (Ben Wheatley)Director Ben Wheatley (A Field In England, Kill List, Down Terrace) made his impressive Doctor Who debut this year with Deep Breath and Into The Dalek and now returns to the big screen for this J.
G Ballard adaptation. Ballard’s 1. 97. 5 novel takes place in an affluent modern tower block whose wealthy tenants descend into a primal orgy of violence and destruction. With a screenplay adapted by Amy Jump - Wheatley’s long- time collaborator and wife - High- Rise features a raft of top UK talent, from Tom Hiddleston to Jeremy Irons, James Purefoy, Keeley Hawes, Sienna Miller and Mad Men and Top Of The Lake’s Elisabeth Moss. Kids In Love (Chris Foggin)Indie drama Kids In Love was shot for just . It’s also the first feature from screenwriters Sebastian de Souza (whom you may remember as Matty from Skins and Alfonso on The Borgias) and Preston Thompson. Will Poulter (We’re The Millers, Son Of Rambow) stars alongside Alma Jodorowsky (Blue Is The Warmest Colour) in a story of young love in the capital.
Plenty of new talent to watch here, we feel. Kill Your Friends (Owen Harris)John Niven has adapted his own horribly funny, excoriating portrait of the mid- nineties UK music industry for Owen Harris’ film of the same name, and after a lengthy development process, we’re finally about to see the results. Kill Your Friends has Nicholas Hoult as lead A& R man Stelfox (think Patrick Bateman’s more self- absorbed Brit cousin), with support from Submarine’s Craig Roberts, Rosanna Arquette, James Corden, Tom Riley, Georgia King and more. Director Owen Harris has terrific Python TV film Holy Flying Circus under his belt, alongside episodes of Black Mirror, Misfits, and Secret Diary Of A Call- Girl. Kill Your Friends will be his feature debut.
Kingsman: The Secret Service (Matthew Vaughn)A strong- looking comic- book adaptation from the writer/director team behind Kick- Ass, Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, Kingsman: The Secret Service has been on our to- watch list for some time now. After some jiggery- pokery with release dates, the action comedy starring Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Hamill and Michael Caine finally comes out in the UK on January the 2. We’d wager this one has one or two real surprises up its sleeve.
