It seems like we've been waiting a long time to see Ben Wheatley's latest, Free Fire, but perhaps that's only because it screened at the BFI London Film Festival and is finally going to hit general release at the end of March. Before that, though, Wheatley is planning to tour the film around the UK, with guest cast and crew members in attendance.
Set in Boston in 1978, Free Fire charts the fallout from a gun-running hook-up orchestrated by Brie Larson's Justine in a deserted warehouse. At its centre are two Irishmen (Cillian Murphy's Chris and Michael Smiley's Frank), on a connect with a pair of arms traffickers, Ord (Armie Hammer) and Vernon (Sharlto Copley), but soon wishing they’d given the whole enterprise a wide berth when the bullets start flying. Cue a desperate battle for survival...
Aiming to offer as many people around the country the chance to see it, the tour kicks off in Truro on 25 January, the wends its way round the UK, finishing off in Brighton. You can find the full list dates and ticket details at the tour site. And the movie will be out – sans the chance for you to win posters, badges and other goodies – in cinemas on 31 March.
