It's a movie, currently in pre-production, described as "a darkly compelling satire about corruption in sport".
Star footballer Henri, poised to inherit Kingdom FC from his dead father, is disinherited by corrupt new owner, Lord. His search for justice leads him into danger in this re-imagining of Hamlet set in the world of football.
A football-based re-imagining of Hamlet? Sounds rubbish, doesn't it? It gets worse: Keith Allen is in it. And John Lydon.
But, on the plus side, the part of Jessica Solow is played by Julia Dray. Who is she? Remember Cradle to the Grave? Remember Miss Blondel?
Who would watch this? And what other football movies of the past will it be compared with?
