London Boulevard Trailer
 
"You're a gangster, a part of my firm." FilmDistrict has revealed their official trailer for William Monahan's London Boulevard, the British gangster drama starring Colin Farrell as a thug recently released from prison who is hired to watch over a movie star and, of course, falls in love with her. Keira Knightley plays the starlet, but the real scene-stealer in this one is Ray Winstone, who looks like he tears up every scene he's in. We actually featured a trailer for this last year, but since it's just getting a US release, we finally have the official US one as well, and it looks damn good. Also stars David Thewlis, Anna Friel and Eddie Marsan.

Watch the newest official trailer for William Monahan's London Boulevard, via YouTube:


London Boulevard tells the story of a man (Colin Farrell) just released from prison who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster. Based on Ken Bruen's book.

London Boulevard is both written and directed by Oscar winning American screenwriter William Monahan, who's making his directorial debut with this after winning an Academy Award for writing The Departed. He also worked on the Kingdom of Heaven, Body of Lies and Edge of Darkness scripts. This was based on Ken Bruen's novel. FilmDistrict will be releasing London Boulevard limited starting on November 11 this fall.
