Barrie Business

Trailer online for Chris's new movie.

11 August, 2006

So - Back In Business. It's a British movie, but there's not a corset in sight, nobody posh falls in love and there's a fantastic lack of gangsters brandishing shotguns. What a blessed relief.

Did we say 'blessed'? What a splendid segue to the cast list - appearing alongside Chris Barrie are Martin Kemp, Dennis "Feem Toon" Waterman and, yes, the booming voice of Brian Blessed.

It's the first feature for writer-director Chris Munro, though his list of credits on other people's films is longer than your arm (or anybody else's). The teaser trailer is all you'd expect from a family caper flick. Best moment? Chris dressed as a banana, probably.

In fact, the movie's main website is worth a wander, particularly for the behind the scenes footage showing Chris in action as con-man and ex-actor Tom. It's surely a chance for Chris to show of his skills for characterisation - we can't wait to see the whole thing.
