Having screened at several festivals already, emotional drama The Pass, which stars Russell Tovey and Arinzé Kene, is headed to the BFI London Film Festival next month. The trailer for the movie has arrived and you can see it below.
Tovey and Kene play football players Jason and Ade, who when we first meet them are 19-year-old rising stars at the academy of a famous London football club. Friends and teammates since they were eight years old, it's now the night before their first-ever game for the first team – a Champions League match – and they're in a hotel room in Romania. They should be sleeping, but they're over-excited. They fight, mock each other, prepare their kit, watch a teammate's sex tape. And then, out of nowhere, one of them kisses the other...
The impact of that one moment reverberates through the next decade of their lives - 10 years of fame and failure, secrets and lies, in a sporting world where image is everything.
With Ben A. Williams directing John Donnelly's script and the likes of Lisa McGrillis and Nico Mirallegro also in the cast, The Pass has yet to announce a general release date, but will be at the LFF on October 12.
