Check out the domestic trailer for Dom Hemingway, featuring a decidedly uncouth Jude Law, as well as Richard E. Grant and Emilia Clarke.
As movie stars grow older, they can choose to do so with quiet dignity and grace or with the sneeringly loud belch of the uncouth. For the latter, there's director Richard Shepard and producer Jeremy Thomas ready to lend a helping hand!
From the filmmakers who allowed Ben Kingsley and Pierce Brosnan shake off their cloaks of respectability to brilliant results in Sexy Beast and The Matador, respectively, comes Jude Law as Dom Hemingway. Watch him flex his nastiness, along with Richard E. Grant and Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke in the Fox Searchlight domestic trailer below.
In this British dark crime comedy, Dom is a safecracker who has been on a bender for the past few decades when his best buddy Dickie (Grant) gets him “one last job,” that gets swallowed up in a sea of booze and drugs. Soon, Dom realizes he must reconnect with his long lost daughter (Clarke) by putting his best foot forward. Good luck with that.
With Law, Clarke and Grant onscreen, there is enough there for fans of film and television to sit down. But if this is even half as fun as The Matador, I know that I’ll be happy enough to march in the band.
Dom Hemingway opens April 4, 2014 in the U.S.
