Wild Bill (2011)

Get down and dirty with this gritty yet heart-warming British drama, as Dexter Fletcher's directorial debut, Wild Bill arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download on 23rd July 2012, from Universal Pictures (UK).

Out on parole after 8 years inside, Bill Hayward (Charlie Creed-miles; Harry Brown, You & I) returns home to his East London home to find it now set in the midst of the Olympics building site. To his horror, he discovers his now 11 and 15-year old sons have been abandoned by their mother and are fending for themselves. Unwilling to play dad, an uncaring Bill is determined to move on. However, although Bill's eldest son Dean (Will Poulter; Son Of Rambow, The Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader) has found a job and is doing his best to be a father to his younger brother Jimmy, the arrival of Bill has brought them to the attention of social services.

Forced into becoming a dad for the purposes of fooling social services, Bill nevertheless settles into the role for the first time, discovering he has a place in the world with his family. But darker times loom as Jimmy gets involved with Bill's treacherous old drug-dealing cohorts, leaving Bill with the dilemma of breaching the terms of his parole or losing his son forever.

Written and directed by Dexter Fletcher (Kick Ass, Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels), Wild Bill is one of the freshest, funniest and most charming British directorial debuts in recent years. With a fantastic British cast that also includes Jason Flemyng, Andy Serkis, Jaime Winstone and Olivia Williams, Wild Bill will really help to kick of a summer of British brilliance in the best possible way!
