Meet Charlie Bronson…Dubbed Britain’s most notorious prisoner
Other forthcoming film releases co-financed by EM Media through the
European Regional Development Fund include…
Unmade Beds The second feature from acclaimed writer/director Alexis Dos Santos.
Better Things The debut feature from Duane Hopkins.
In 1974 a misguided 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided
he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade
sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams, he attempted to rob
a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to
seven years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for
34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement.
With an intelligent, provocative and stylised approach, Bronson
(based on a true story) follows the metamorphosis of Michael
Peterson into Britain’s most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson.
Bronson was co-financed by EM Media through the European
Regional Development Fund and the shoot took place in
Nottinghamshire and at Stanford Hall in February 2008.
Bronson will be released at UK cinemas on Friday 13 March.
Hush The third film to shoot from Warp X’s production slate and the debut feature from Mark Tonderai.
