FILMING has wrapped on the The Rise and Fall of A White Collar Hooligan, a "blisteringly violent" co-production of UK indies Black and Blue Films and Press On Features.
It's described as being in the tradition of The Football Factory, Green Street and Rise of The Footsoldier.
Two versions of the official poster are included here, along with the synopsis and cast information.
Written and directed by Paul Tanter (Jack Falls), the film features a top ensemble genre cast including Nick Nevern (Adulthood, Terry), Simon Phillips (Jack Falls), Roland Manookian (The Football Factory, The Business), Billy Murray (Essex Boys, Rise of the Footsoldier), Rebecca Ferdinando (Bonded By Blood), Charlie Bond (Strippers vs Werewolves) and Ricci Harnett (Rise of the Footsoldier).
Black & Blue Films managing director Jonathan Sothcott said: "We are delighted to be dipping our toe in the evergreen hooligan genre.
"I thought Jack Falls was a terrific-looking picture and Paul has brought the same gritty realism and high production value to this new project. Boasting a great ensemble cast, this is sure to be the must-see British crime movie in 2012."
Official synopsis
Casual football hooligan Mike Jacobs is going nowhere in life when he meets old friend Eddie Hill at a football match that turns nasty off the pitch.
Under Eddie's tutelage he soon finds himself inducted into the world of credit card fraud, where organised gangs withdraw hundreds of thousands of pounds from cash machines every night.
As Mike becomes seduced by the money and women that come with his new lifestyle, the dangers increase and he soon finds events spiralling beyond his control.
Based on a true story, The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan follows the journey of a man tempted by the trappings of power and is the first feature film to address the huge criminal industry of credit card fraud.
