Principal photography has recently commenced on the British gangster film Geezers, a high-energy crime drama that draws talent from a diverse cast. Starring notable musicians Shaun Ryder and Bez from the famed band Happy Mondays, the film sets the stage with a plot centred around a stolen bag of money, initiating a heated gang war among rivals. Caught amidst this turmoil are ‘The Geezers,’ a group of aspiring criminals embroiled in chaotic events beyond their control.
Joining Ryder and Bez in this cinematic venture are performers Hannah Bang Bendz of Wrath of Dracula, Sean Cronin known for Mission Impossible, alongside Ciaron Davies, Ashley Hudson, and Steven Woollard. It is both written and directed by Ciaron Davies, whose previous projects include highly imaginative films like Grainne Uaile and 5th dimension. This collaboration of talents brings together a vivid array of performances that aim to revitalise the British gangster genre for a contemporary audience.
Characterised by its fast-paced nature, Geezers promises an exhilarating journey replete with car chases, shootouts, and meticulously choreographed action sequences. The film’s aesthetic juxtaposes elements of both British gangster themes and influences reminiscent of celebrated Hong Kong crime cinema, providing audiences with a blend of cultures and styles. The director’s vision integrates martial arts and intricate stunt work, showcasing well-orchestrated scenes that aim to captivate those who follow action-packed storytelling.
The intent of Geezers is clear: to offer a modern interpretation of the gangster film that bridges the gap between Eastern and Western influences. Produced by Loose Gripp Films and distributed by High Fliers, the movie seeks to offer a diverse and thrilling narrative landscape. Each action sequence is designed not merely to entertain but to push the boundaries of traditional genre conventions, ensuring a visually compelling and narratively engaging experience.
Geezers stands to redefine the gangster film with its fusion of intense action and cultural inspiration.
