3.04.12 # Trailers # 3 Comments
A new big screen version of the classic British television police drama The Sweeney is set to hit the silver screen later this year, and the first trailer has arrived. Ray Winstone and Ben Drew (aka Grime MC and R&B singer Plan B) take on the roles John Thaw and Dennis Waterman portrayed back in the 70s, take a look.
Well ‘ard. The Sweeney tells the story of Detective Regan and Carter, two members of the “Sweeney Todd” (cockney rhyming slang for Flying Squad), a branch of the police who specialize in armed robbery and violent crimes. The UK can expect to the the movie in September, international release dates are yet to be announced.
I can’t say The Sweeney brand really does much for me. This seems to have added a lad element and a few establishing shots from The Dark Knight.
Then again, Ray Winstone is always great. I’d watch a movie where he was describing his last ten dumps.
Blimey, Plan B is a really unconvincing copper! This could be great fun if done right – which is kinda hard to tell from the trailer. I’m so glad Ray said “taking liberties”: incentive alone to watch it.
i cant wait to watch this, anything with plan b in is great, also looking forward to his ill manors, and ray winstone, the perfect cockney cop duo.
