If you should know anything about the new **Brighton Rock **adaptation, know this: instead of being set in the 1930s, like the Boulting brothers’ 1947 original, Rowan Joffé’s take on the Greene classic brings all things sinister West Sussex way to the swinging ‘60s.
Want proof? We’ve got proof. Proof in the form of dozens of Mods on Italian scooters and angry, leather jacket-wearing Rockers screaming and shouting and swearing at them. In the form of this brief snippet below.
That’s right, it’s clip time, and after this awesome poster and the concerningly lovey-dovey trailer, it’s great to see some actual footage, taken straight from the actual film.
If the clip intigues you so much than you need more than just a mere poster and a trailer to sate your desires, why not check out our interview with director Rowan Joffé from Movie-Con last year. You know, if you want.
Brighton Rock is out on February 4 here in the UK.
