Ben Whishaw Stars In Surge Watch UK Trailer
Vertigo Releasing have unveiled the Official Trailer for upcoming British indie drama thriller, Surge starring Ben Whishaw.
The film marks the first feature film from Aneil Karia (Beat, The Long Goodbye), who up until now has been in short films. The film has had a strong film festival which started away back in 2020 when it made it’s world premiere at Sundance Film Festival. The film made it’s UK premiere back in February at Glasgow Film Festival, with review complimenting Whishaw who is off course Q from The Bond films and the voice of Paddington Bear!
The director commented on his film’s protagonist, “Though Joseph might seem to be a unique case, I hope that his story is speaking to something much more universal. Now more than ever it feels like we have had enough of surface-existence and are yearning for a deeper more present experience of the world. I hope watching this film feels like a visceral and meaningful trip.”
The film is set over 24 hour period in London. This is a stripped back thriller about a man called Joseph (Whishaw) who goes on a bold and reckless journey of self-liberation.
Joseph (Ben Whishaw) is trapped in a soulless job, living a life devoid of emotion and meaning. After an impulsive act of rebellion, Joseph unleashes a wilder version of himself. He is propelled on a reckless journey through London, ultimately experiencing what it feels like to be alive.
The film also stars Ellie Haddington, Chris Coghill, Ian Gelder and Jasmine Jobson.
Surge will be released in the UK and Ireland in two formats. You can catch the film in select cinemas or on digital platforms from 28th May.
