We talk to Craig Fairbrass about his latest film, the ultra-realistic, very dramatic prison movie A Violent Man which releases on screens on 4th February.
We chat all things Villain, Muscle and even video games in our 15 minute chat.
Fans of the legendary actor will not be disappointed by his latest performance as a hard-as-nails killer doing a 20-year-stretch for murder, in this uncompromising and impressive debut film. Bleak, brutal and brilliant, A VIOLENT MAN showcases a towering performance from Fairbrass, never better and riding high off acclaim from his recent string of well-reviewed thrillers including Villain and Muscle. The film sees Fairbrass teaming up again with the producers of Villain, who are also behind Boiling Point starring Stephen Graham.
The film features an impressive supporting cast including Jason Flemyng and Stephen Odubola, who is outstanding as Fairbrass’ troubled cellmate Marcus. A VIOLENT MAN is a gritty portrayal of the harsh realities of prison life, with a brooding score by two time BAFTA award-winning composer Austin Wintory. It’s punctuated by moments of electrifying and ferocious violence, including a couple of truly savage cell face-offs that are shockingly effective and not for the faint of heart.
A VIOLENT MAN was shot during the summer of 2020 during the COVID 19 pandemic and the restrictions brought about by this. The film is produced by Bart Ruspoli, Hester Ruoff and Stefan D’Bart. An Ascendant Films and Burton Fox Films Production, in association with Bromantics, Athenry, Insight Media Fund, Alpine Films, The Electric Shadow Company and Conley Entertainment Group. Finance provided by Ascendant Films, Insight Media Fund and Conley Entertainment Group.
