An actress has spoken in support of Noel Clarke as part of the libel trial brought by the UK actor and filmmaker against Guardian News and Media (Gnm).

Louise Dylan took the stand on Friday, March 14, as a witness for Clarke.

She said she had heard through a friend that Clarke’s former business partner Davie Fairbanks had claimed he saw her being groped by Clarke at the wrap party for 2012 romantic comedyThe Knot, which Clarke and Fairbanks wrote and produced, and in which Clarke, Fairbanks and Dylan acted.

After hearing of Clarke’s libel case, she wrote an email...

Slo-mo twerking, lots of naked ladies and plenty of sniggering about sex spice up this otherwise anodyne, Hollyoaks-style comedy

If nothing else, this broad comedy about a bunch of schoolkids who decide to start their own nightclub knows what its target demographic likes, and delivers: teen camaraderie, underdog victories, bleep-bleep dance music backing slo-mo shots of people twerking, lots of naked ladies and sniggering, sweary sex humour. Take out the last few, 15-certificate elements and it’s more anodyne than an average episode of Hollyoaks since nobody takes any drugs and the main cast are all, deep down, really nice kids. Noel Clarke, who should bring in a following via his grittier Kidulthood franchise, is listed as a producer, but Marc Small and Davie Fairbanks actually hold the directing reins. They imbue the proceedings with a sense of salty, Inbetweeners-style fun but have mixed success with their mostly overacting young leads.

Small in scale but grand in swagger, Noel Clarke movies delve into corners of London life you won’t find explored elsewhere. His latest production, Legacy, is another slice of urban drama that’s headlined by Attack The Block’s Franz Drameh. A new clip from the film has dropped onto the internet. Click below for a closer look.brightcove.createExperiences();The scene sees Pj (McKell David) looking to make a big score from the council estate dealer ahead of a massive party he and his four mates are attending. The fact that his dealer lives with his mum, has names for his frying fish and is looking to move into novel-writing is a clue that it’s not kitchen-sink realism co-directors Davie Fairbanks and Marc Small have in mind for the movie.Ring-led by Sean (Drameh), the five mates find their plans to get into the party of a lifetime – Chrome!

Jason Maza and Noel Clarke produce.

Unstoppable Entertainment and Think Big Productions have wrapped principal photography as of Oct 13 on London-shot Legacy.

Jason Maza (The Knot, The Hooligan Factory) and Noel Clarke (4.3.2.1.) produce. Davie Fairbanks and Marc Small co-write and co-direct.

The story follows five teenagers throwing the ultimate party.

The cast features Screen International 2013 Star of Tomorrow Franz Drameh [pictured], McKell David, Steven Cree and Amy Tyger (who was discovered following nationwide open auditions). There are cameos from Brett Goldstein and Paige Meade.

In a place designed to keep things locked in – how do you get out? Here it is, a completely new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi horror movie titled Storage 24, which is set to open this January! I’m still not sure what to think about this project, but I must admit that I like the new trailer. Not so creepy, but promises a lot of action. I will also add some pretty cool images from the whole thing, so make sure you check it all out in the rest of this report…

So, for those of you who are not so familiar with this movie, I will first inform you that it comes from director Johannes Roberts (responsible for 2011 Roadkill), while Noel Clarke, Davie Fairbanks and Marc Small all stand behind the movie script which goes like this:

The post Prepare to Get Hunted in New Poster for Horror Film Storage 24 appeared first on Shockya.com.

Director: Johannes Roberts. Writers: Noel Clarke, Davie Fairbanks and Marc Small. Cast: Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock, Jamie Thomas King, Alex Price, Ned Dennehy, Geoff Bell, Ruth Gemmell, Davie Fairbanks, and Amy Pemberton. Storage 24 is a small sci-fi thriller? from the United Kingdom. Written partially by Noel Clarke of Kidulthood, this film never steps out of a predictable framework. Perhaps, the one shooting location stops this film from finding true heights. Whatever the case, eighty minutes of cat and mouse interchange is not enough to recommend Storage 24 to many. Noel Clarke writes an interesting sub-plot involving infidelity, but he also writes his own character, Charlie, much like a shining white knight. The film and this character are hard to tolerate. Creature feature film fans will be able to tell how this film will play out. An alien crash lands next to a storage facility. Once on the ground,...

Storage 24

Stars: Noel Clarke, Colin O’Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock, Jamie Thomas King, Alex Price, Ned Dennehy | Written by Noel Clarke, Davie Fairbanks, Marc Small | Directed by Johannes Roberts

Penned by, and starring, the prolific Noel Clarke and directed by Johannes Roberts, who helmed the superb yet little-seen high-school horror F, Storage 24 sees a military cargo plane crash in London, leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware London is complete chaos and in total lockdown, Charlie and Shelley accompanied by best friends Mark and Nikki are at a storage facility (that of the title) dividing up their possessions after a recent break up. Then the power goes off. Trapped in a dark maze of endless corridors, the foursome quickly discover a mystery predator is hunting them one by one, and the place where you keep your items safe is now the unsafest place in the city.

Storage 24 (2012) Prolific British writer, director, actor and more Noel Clarke returns in his 4th film of 2012, science fiction horror thriller “Storage 24”, directed by Johannes Roberts, helmer of a variety of other home grown shriekers including “F”, “Forest of the Damned” and “Hellbreeder”. Clarke (soon to be seen in the forthcoming “Star Trek into Darkness”) headlines and also co-wrote the film with supporting cast member Davie Fairbanks, their second collaboration of the year along with the utterly dire and merit-free wedding ‘comedy’ “The Knot”. Thankfully, the film is a very different and much more entertaining proposition indeed, and following a successful run in domestic cinemas now lands on region 2 Blu Ray and DVD through Universal, coming with a reasonable clutch of special features including docs on the production and effects, plus video cast video diaries for those who care. Clarke stars as Charlie, a rather dull and depressed young...

Arriving in theatres in the UK and Ireland tomorrow, The Knot sees Noel Clarke (Kidulthood, Storage 24) starring alongside an excellent cast, headed up by Mena Suvari (American Pie), Matthew McNulty (Misfits), and Talulah Riley (Pride & Prejudice).

Jesse Lawrence is making his feature directorial debut, and ahead of the film’s release, three inter-linked red-band trailers have been released to give you a taste of what to expect.

“Soulmates Alexandra (Talulah Riley) and Jeremy (Matthew McNulty) are getting married. At least that’s the plan. Unfortunately for them, nonchalant best man Peter (Noel Clarke), bridesmaid Sarah (Mena Suvari) and an army of naysayers haven’t heard they’re meant to be together. Can missing bridesmaids, crashed cars, a trip to A&E, and a delivery of pigs testicles stand in the way of true love?”

Clarke has reteamed with Davie Fairbanks (Storage 24) and Geoff Carino (Licks) for the script,...

The script comes from Geoff Carino, Noel Clarke, Davie Fairbanks.

I got to visit the set for this one last year and am excited to see the movie in it’s finished form. Keep your eyes peeled...

One thing's for sure - they never found anything like this in the hit TV series "Storage Wars" although we're fairly certain that if they did, Darrell Sheets would proclaim it to be a thirty dollar bill all day and then eventually get outbid by Dave Hester. Yup!

In any event, Variety reports that London-based international sales agent Independent has closed multiple deals on helmer Johannes Roberts' horror sci-fi Storage 24.

Universal and Unstoppable Entertainment have revealed the first look trailer for the new Johannes Roberts ('F') helmed Brit sci-fi horror 'Storage 24'. The movie penned by writer and star Noel Clarke ('Kidulthood', 'Doghouse') is set in a storage building when a military cargo plane crashes and unleashes its classified contents into London. The trailer, which echoes elements of Brit comedy horror 'Attack the Block', looks pretty good and ensures that is doesn't reveal too much about the 'creatures' that the surviving gang are attempting to escape. 'Storage 24' also stars Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock -below ('The Inbetweeners Movie'), Jamie Thomas King, Alex Price, Ned Dennehy, Geoff Bell, Ruth Gemmell, Davie Fairbanks and Amy Pemberton.

Brit director Johannes Roberts responsible for after school-based thriller 'F' is hard at work on the post-production of his new sci-fi horror 'Storage 24'. The new flick was penned by its star Noel Clarke ('Kidulthood', '4.3.2.1') and is set to hit UK theatres next June. Personally I don't really rate Clarke as an actor but he's a definite up and coming talent when it comes to both writing and directing. Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, the sexy Laura Haddock -below ('The Inbetweeners Movie'), Jamie Thomas King, Alex Price, Ned Dennehy, Geoff Bell, Ruth Gemmell, Davie Fairbanks and Amy Pemberton all co-star.
