Premium docs specialist Lightbox is moving into drama with Gunpower Siege, a scripted series for Sky History in the UK that promises to reveal the gripping truth behind the Gunpowder Plot. Chuku Modu (Game of Thrones) leads the cast, starring as Robert Catesby.
Lightbox is known for high-end docs including Man on Wire and Searching for Sugar Man. Its first drama aims to shatter myths around the Gunpowder Plot, one of the most infamous moments in British history and when, in 1605, a group of plotters organized by Catesby attempted to blow up King James I at the opening of Parliament.
The three-part series is written by Noel McCann (Blue Lights). It delves into the aftermath of the Plot, spotlighting its three leaders: Catesby, his cunning cousin Thomas Wintour, and their ruthless enforcer, Thomas Percy. Luke Hobson (Mary Queen of Scots) plays Wintour, and Luke Roberts (Ransom) is Percy.

[Note: With the film finally coming to DVD, here’s a reposting of our review of the sci-fi film Edge of Extinction]
Filmed in a suitably grim and grey aesthetic, Edge of Extinction is set 15 years after a global apocalypse, with mankind is on the verge of extinction. Civilisation no longer exists, food is scarce and most eke out a living by stealing and killing. One man clings onto life in the desolate British countryside, where staying away from others has been key to his survival. But this self-imposed isolation comes to an abrupt end when he crosses paths with another group of survivors and faces an enemy far more savage than any of them could have imagined.
Edge of Extinction has had quite the journey to the screen, with a 3 year journey from start to finish for writer/director Andrew Gilbert,...

Some well-crafted action scenes are thwarted by a stilted script in Andrew Gilbert’s plodding post-apocalyptic thriller
This post-apocalyptic survivalist thriller, set in rural Britain, is both violent and depressing, with some iffy line-readings, weird script moments and untied plot strands. It isn’t badly shot by any means, with one or two effective action scenes and interesting use of remote locations, but it takes two ploddingly long hours to tell a cumbersomely inflated and often dull story, which even at the finish line has to be wound up pretty arbitrarily.
We are in a lawless, chaotic land where food, water and shelter are grimly scarce. A lone individual (Luke Hobson), haunted by his tragic past, makes common cause with a young woman (Georgie Smibert) and a desperate, angry man (Chris Kaye) to win out against a terrifying band of marauding cannibals and rapists, led by a brutal figure known...

The allure of the post-apocalyptic world is one that cinema revisits frequently and Andrew Gilbert’s Edge of Extinction dives into this valiantly.
But despite its best efforts it falls short with a number of mis-steps.
This is a Britain but not quite as we know it, undoubtedly and you would believe is post-Brexit, set 15 years after World War III triggered by a nuclear attack on Turkey.
We see some signs of promise or perhaps at least what could be as the film opens to a lone man simply credited as “The Boy” (Luke Hobson) out in the middle of nowhere against a distinctive score that perfectly sets a tone of despair.
Director and writer, Andrew Gilbert, borrows from what has come before and is very reminiscent of 28 Days Later and captures a smidgen of the feeling at the beginning but this is where comparisons stop.

It has been several years since the nuclear war took place. The land is degraded; it's hard to scrape a living. Our hero (Luke Hobson) lives alone in an abandoned building where he has managed to collect some supplies, but when one day a young woman (Georgie Smibert) comes his way, saying that she's starving and begging for help, he breaks his longstanding rules to let her in. What follows is not quite what either of them expected. It will propel our hero - along with an unlikely ally - into a conflict that could redefine the order of things.
If this sounds like an exciting premise, be prepared for a film in which a lot of time is spent running about and shouting with a lot of threats, bullying and brutality but not a lot of real action. Occasional short fight sequences, realistically messy, keep us going until it picks.
