Chata Pictures have just sent over the first poster artwork for their new movie Hooligan Wars which comes from Director Paul Tanter who has previously worked on the ‘Jack’ series of movies and has a movie coming up called White Collar Hooligan. The press release which is placed below the poster tells us that the movie will be ‘blisteringly violet’ and in the vein of The Football Factory.
Hooligan Wars stars has a cast which includes Nick Nevern, Simon Phillips, Peter Barrett, Glen Murphy, Mark Harris and Lorraine Stanley. It is written and directed by Paul Tanter (White Collar Hooligan, Jack Falls) and is scheduled for a late 2012 release.
Here’s the synopsis and you can scroll down to see the artwork in full below.
A bar fight leaves up and coming footballer Andy injured and out of the game. Needing an income to support himself and his pregnant girlfriend, he buys an ice cream van and sets to work. However, he soon finds himself battling intimidation from Polish gangs who use ice cream vans on their patches to sell drugs. Needing protection, Andy allies himself with a gang of British gangsters who introduce him to the world of football hooliganism. Soon Andy finds himself engaging in terrifying violence and forced to sell drugs from his own van. Desperate, and with the police closing in, he searches for a way out before the world he has entered destroys him.
You can find out more info on the movie on the official Facebook page and on Twitter. A trailer is expected to be released later this week so keep your eyes peeled.
