Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian) and Russian heartthrob Andrei Chadov (Russkoye) will be seen in UK cinemas this October in the breezy, barbed satire BIGGA THAN BEN.
The film, a smash-hit at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival, follows the wild exploits of two freewheeling Russians as they embark on a headlong charge through the seedy underworld of the multi-cultural melting pot that is London.
Based on the award-winning diaries of Pavel Tetersky and Sergei Sakin, Bigga Than Ben was a hit in Russia, where it premiered to a sell out audience at the Moscow Film Festival Gala, taking $500,000 at the Russian box office.
With music by Pete Doherty and Joe Strummer, and featuring the debut by the latest of the Fiennes dynasty Hero Tiffin-Fiennes (Harry Potter: Half-Blood Prince), BIGGA THAN BEN takes a darkly comic look at what it takes to survive as an outsider in a harsh, unforgiving, pricey, yet fascinating metropolis.
Starring: Ben Barnes, Andrei Chadov, Ovidiu Matesan
Bigga Than Ben is released 10th October
