According to Oscilloscope.net, Wasteland, will be premiering at the Cinema Village theatre in New York City on June 26th. It looks as if it will eventually be added to the listings at other theatres as well so we will keep an eye out. For those of you that have forgotten, the synopsis of the film is as follows:
After being released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Harvey Miller (Attack The Block‘s Luke Treadaway) has revenge on his mind. He recruits his three best friends to help him rob the local drug kingpin whose betrayal put him away in the first place. As the kingpin catches wind of the con, Harvey’s plan evolves into a suspenseful and exciting scheme full of surprising twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Matthew’s most recent film, Wasteland, will be making another film festival appearance. This time at the Newport Beach Film Festival on April 28th and 29th. Tickets for the movie may be purchased here for $14.
Battered and bruised, Harvey sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, the detective on the other side of the table has no doubt about Harvey’s part in a foiled robbery and his subsequent attempted murder of a local businessman. Denying everything, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. What unfolds is an exhilarating, moving and hilarious story of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, revenge and the pursuit of happiness.

Irish fans of Matthew Lewis are in for a treat because next Friday, the 15th of February, Wasteland will be showing at the Jameson International Film Festival in Dublin at 7:15pm. To purchase tickets, which cost €11, visit this page on the Jameson website! The film has been renamed The Rise for this release and a synopsis of the film (which is a bit different from ones in the past) can be read below:
A heist thriller with a distinctly British sensibility, The Rise marks an assured and engaging first feature from writer/director Rowan Athale. Appealing characters, clever plotting and smart dialogue make for a winning combination.
The Rise is set against the backdrop of a ‘broken’ Britain that has nothing to offer a younger generation beyond minimum wage jobs and unrealistic hopes. Released after a short prison sentence, Harvey (Luke Treadaway) wants a second chance with girlfriend Nathalie (Vanessa Kirby), he wants revenge on the local crime boss Roper (Neil Maskell) who framed him and he wants to enlist the help of his mates for a robbery that might allow him to achieve all those goals.
There may be nods to The Usual Suspects and the Oceans franchise along the way but The Rise is very much its own film. The pleasures lie as much in the sarcastic banter and blokey chemistry of the four leads as they do in the mechanics of the twisted revenge plot. Treadaway gives one of his best performances, ably supported by a strong ensemble cast. Rowan Athale clearly knows how to bring out the best in his actors and lays down a marker for what should be a promising future career.
