Wasteland to be Releaed Worldwide; Promo Reel to be Shown at Cannes

Bankside productions is presenting a promo reel for Matthew Lewis’ upcoming film Wasteland at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.   The film will be presented, in full, at an autumn film festival, which we will post about when we have further information. According to an article from ScreenDaily:

Bankside’s Stephen Kelliher said: “Wasteland is a fine example of highly original material, a great script and a wonderfully talented director who has succeeded in attracting the coolest of British actors to his film. We are delighted to be involved with a heist movie which has something fresh, new and exciting to say.”

The producers and dircector said they were “both proud and delighted in delivering our film to the world through Bankside Films. Post reading of the script, their passion and commitment for our film was obvious to all.  We look forward with anticipation of working together with Phil, Hilary and Stephen in delivering a positive successful roll out across the globe of this wonderful, entertaining and engaging feature film Wasteland.”

Promotional photos from Wasteland may be viewed in our gallery. Make sure to keep checking back for all the latest on Wasteland, and Matthew’s other films.

New Photo of Matthew Lewis in Wasteland

This morning the Wasteland Facebook page asked fans to like their status to reveal a new promotional shot of Matthew Lewis and Luke Treadaway  in the film! Luke plays the main protagonist in the film while Matthew plays one of his friends, Dodd. They have since released the image, which can be found, in super high resolution, in the gallery!

Wasteland finished filming earlier in the month and is slated for release later this year.  More news and photos will be posted as they are released! For those of you that missed in previous posts, the synopsis of the film is as follows:

Battered, bruised and under arrest, Harvey Denton sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, Detective Inspector West has no doubt as to Harvey’s part in a foiled robbery, and his subsequent attempted murder of local businessman Steven Roper.

Denying nothing, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. We take in his release from prison a month earlier, and the malevolent, unjust act that put him there. We see his emotional reunion with his sibling-like best friends, and theimmovable loyalty they have for one another. We see the rekindling of a lost love, a second chance for two people meant for each other. We see the ingenious planning of the ill-fated robbery, the amazing twist, the shocking outcome, and the real driving force behind it – retribution. What unfolds is an exhilarating, moving and hilarious story of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, revenge and the pursuit of happiness.
