Nick Love's latest, The Firm - new images and teaser trailer

British writer-director Nick Love (The Football Factory, The Business, Outlaw) returns to the violent world of football hooliganism with his latest film The Firm, based upon Alan Clarke's classic 1988 TV movie of the same name. We've got some new images from the film, and you can also check out the official teaser trailer right here...


Set in the mid-eighties, this retelling is a coming-of-age tale centred on young football fan and wannabe casual Dom (Calum McNab), who joins a local firm led by the charasmatic but dangerous Bex (Paul Anderson, who takes over the original Gary Oldman role). With the violence spiralling out of control Dom decides the gang lifestyle isn't for him, but he soon discovers that getting out is far from easy.



The Firm is released in the U.K. on September 18th (check out the offical website here), and next up for Love is a big-screen adaptation of classic British police show The Sweeney, with Ray Winstone and Michael Fassbender rumoured to be attached.
