The Wasteland Official Facebook has been updated with a new behind the scenes photo of Matthew Lewis and Luke Treadaway during filming, that photo may be seen in the gallery. Additionally, ScreenDaily has posted a new article about Matthew Lewis’ new film, Wasteland. Some snippets may be read below.
The film, pitched as akin to Ocean’s 11 on a Northern Council Estate, is about four best friends who hatch a heist plan to better their lives.
The lads are played by Luke Treadaway, Iwan Rheon, Gerard Kearns, and Matthew Lewis; with Timothy Spall as a police interrogator, Vanessa Kirby as the love interest and Neil Maskell as a local thug.

It won’t be the typical heist film. Pritchard explains: “People are hugely worried about clichés, if it’s a Northern gritty heist film. But this is something different. The humanity up here is fantastic and Rowan knows that better than anyone almost…People that read the script saw that.”
He adds: “You’ll like the characters and that’s vital. Their plan isn’t legal but their reasons are fairly honourable. Also, there are no guns in the film, which is something we said right from the beginning.

Treadaway says the four actors at the core of the film have worked extremely well together. “We’re a right little gang. It’s nice to do a film with guys the same age, and it’s a group of lads that don’t have egos.” Athale agrees: “We’ve been lucky all very different people and all differnet to their characters but they are working very very supportively and there is no ego between them.”

Matthew Lewis notes that it’s ultimately “a redemption film, about friendship and loyalty. They are good guys, they aren’t thugs.”
Finally, I’ve added another new photo from Matthew’s publicity shoot to the gallery.
