On the 24th August the gritty urban thriller which is set in East London, ‘Sugarhouse’ which stars Ashley Walters, Steven Mackintosh and Andy Serkis is being released in cinemas nationwide.
SUGARHOUSE follows disillusioned middle class city boy Tom who’s looking for something in the back streets of London; he thinks D - a young desperate drug addict can give him what he needs. Holed up in a derelict warehouse, with the impending threat of local crimelord Hoodwink at their backs, both men play an intense game of cat and mouse; scrambling to cut a deal and make sense of the very lives they may be about to lose.
Ashley Walters plays crack addict D: bursting with an electric energy. His recent credits include STORMBREAKER, the lead in Richard Laxton’s eagerly anticipated LIFE N’ LYRICS, and Stellan Skarsgard’s lover in WAZ. Winning a BIFA in 2004 for his performance in BULLET BOY, Ashley first came to prominence as Asher D in UK Garage group So Solid Crew.
Steven Mackintosh (THE MOTHER, LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS) plays moody and volatile Tom and Andy Serkis plays Hoodwink, a man so criminally psychotic he has a whole estate living in fear. Andy is best known for his award winning role as Gollum in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and most recently teamed up with Peter Jackson again to play two parts, including the ape, in King Kong.
