Hailing from the writer-director of The Football Factory, it’s a very NSFW teaser.
A very extreme first trailer has hit the web for Marching Powder, a new sports comedy-drama movie from actor Danny Dyer and writer-director Nick Love – who both worked together on the cult classic The Football Factory.
Set in the “irreverent and profane world” of The Football Factory, their new film follows the story of Jack Jones (Dyer) – an aging, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together.
“Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his firm of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison,” the plot synopsis reads.
“Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law, and his unhinged 25-year-old brother-in-law, Jack tries to get his life back on track, but his world slowly starts to spiral out of control.
“Can Jack overcome his inner demons, or is he heading for jail?”
Described as “an outrageous, proper naughty comedy about addiction, violence, and happy endings”, a tagline for Marching Powder reads: “There’s romance, there’s comedy, but this ain’t no rom-com.”
As well as The Football Factory, Dyer and Love previously collaborated on another cult classic, 2005 gangster flick The Business, as well as the movies Goodbye Charlie Bright and Outlaw.
Co-starring Geoff Bell (Green Street) and Stephanie Leonidas (Snatch), a promo for Marching Powder had been playing in cinemas before certain screenings of Joker: Folie à Deux in recent weeks.
But now a full uncensored trailer has hit the web, which can be watched below. But be warned, it contains lots and lots of drug-taking, swearing and violence.
Marching Powder has not been given a release date yet but will be out in cinemas sometime in 2025.
