Top director and all-round nice bloke Shane Meadows may be out of his usual Midlands comfort zone with his latest movie but, judging by the exclusive trailer we've got here, he's not lost his touch for witty dialogue and earthy storytelling. A monochromatic tale of friendship in multi-cultural Lonodn, Somers Town harks back to Meadows' debut, TwentyFourSeven, and stars This Is England revelation Thomas Turgoose as a young runaway who befriends a shy Polish teen and embarks on a series of hare-brained money-making schemes. Click the image above to view the trailer A right proper little gem, Somers Town hits cinemas on August 22.

Okay-at-best
I really loved DEAD MAN'S SHOES and THIS IS ENGLAND, but I think this looks okay-at-best. I cannot wait for KING OF THE GYPSIES, though. That should be a treat. As for SOMERS TOWN, I guess we'll have to wait and see. ... Read More SteffanUK About me

Thomas Turgoose is excellent
And I cannot wait for this film! I loved This Is England and I think Shane Meadows is one of the hottest talents of British Cinema, although I do hope after this one he moves onto something different and broaden his horizons. ... Read More Captain_Charlie About me

This looks decidedly average. Sorry, but nothing in that trailer grabbed me. Also, this bloody advertising thing is getting ridiculous. Seriously, this is ridiculous, the website is slow enough as it is due to the adverts. ... Read More clarkkent About me

Wow
Doesn't look as depressingly dark as his others, sure they had funny moments, but they were pretty darn leak, well, the last two at least. ... Read More Ethanial About me
