O.M.G

So I musta shown up on Danny Dyer's delicious radar, cos not only did I get sent a Deviation press release (me, the press!! hahaha!), I only got a FB msg off of him! Or the person who operates his his Facebook account anyway, I'm sure he's too important to respond to saddoes like me, LOL. I do like to think of him though, feet up on the desk, dictating these FB messages to some gorgeous secretary before sending her out to get him some pie and mash. (MMMMMM, my fave hinthint LOL).

So, anyway. Here's what the press release says:

King of the indies Danny Dyer will be taking on a new challenge this November in new thriller, DEVIATION.

Danny plays escaped convict FRANKIE who kidnaps a young nurse AMBER in a desperate bid to evade the authorities and flee the country.

Told in one night, DEVIATION sees Frankie hold Amber hostage in her own car, taking her on a terrifying ride through the seediest backstreets of London. Amber is played by Anna Walton, of HELLBOY 2: THE GOLDEN ARMY and THE MUTANT CHRONICLES.

DEVIATION is a tense psychological thriller in the vein of other white knuckle rides like THE HITCHER, RED EYE, PANIC ROOM and THE VANISHING.

So what attracted Dyer to the role? “Frankie is a complex guy, he’s not *just* a “psycho.”” says Danny. “He’s a tortured soul, but not one of those fellas Hollywood asks you to believe the hostage will identify with and even try and help get away. This guy is evil, but we can see why he’s ended up like this.”

DEVIATION is written and directed by JK Amalou (HARD MEN, THE MAN WHO WOULD BE QUEEN), produced by J.K., Lara Greenway (CRIKEY VILLAINS) and Michael Riley (VAMPIRE DIARY, OUTLANDERS, SUGARHOUSE, LAVA).

You can follow the movie here on Facebook, the official blog here or here via Twitter.

This is all so cool. Mega congrats to lovely ladies Lucy and Lara for being involved in all this (and thanks to Lucy for sticking me on the mailing list, know it was you really! LOL). But seriously: movies always seem so far away somehow, like other people make them, yet here they are getting stuck in. It makes me feel like I can do this too and bloody hell, I needed that reminder after the past few months I can tell you.

ROCK ON TUESDAY!
