James McAvoy Goes Pig Riding In New Irvine Welsh Filth UK Poster

It’s been a long long time since we’ve seen an great film adaptation of a Irvine Welsh but this September things maybe about to change with the release of Filth.This afternoon in a new UK poster for the film we see a different side to the films leading actor James McAvoy….riding a pig!

McAvoy stars as Bruce Roberston a biopolar  chauvinistic policeman   who loves nothing better than take drugs, masturbate  and having sex with every women he lays his eyes on.Bruce is enlisted to solve a murder and will  do anything to make sure he beats his partner Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell) to that elusive promotion that’s up for grabs too.

If you’ve watched the trailers you’ll understand the poster and will know Pig is an UK knickname for the police riding the ‘pig’  is nothing compared to what you’ll see James McAvoy doing, it’s a hell of alot! We caught a screening of Filth in Edinburgh today and though we can’t say much about it but stay tuned and we’ll share our views nearer the time.

Filth will be unleashed in UK&Irish cinemas on 2 different dates. First in Scotland 27th September  then the rest of the UK on 4th October. The film also stars Jim Broadbent, Imogen Poots, Jim Broadbent, Eddie Marsan, Martin Compston and Kate Dickie.

Synopsis

Scheming Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?
