The first trailer has arrived for KNIGHTFALL, the new espionage thriller from London indie Shogun Films, has arrived.
Knightfall stars Geoffrey Moore, son of James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore, as MI5 agent Hugh, whose analyst girlfriend Ros Knight( Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott – Nemesis) is unwittingly dragged into a black ops mission with him. Their objective: prevent a deadly bioweapon sale. When the operation goes fatally wrong, Ros finds herself left with the key to the weapon and a with a target on her back: pursued by a relentless mercenary squad. With nowhere else to turn she heads home: to the rambling country estate of her estranged father, legendary former spy catcher Charles Knight (Ian Ogilvy – We Still Kill The Old Way). As the Knights and Hugh prepare for a terrifying home invasion, sinister forces stalk the corridors of power as enigmatic Whitehall mandarin Carmichael (Nick Moran – Lock Stock) fans discord and plots treason. As night falls, the heroic trio must utilise every trick in the espionage playbook to prevent a homeland security disaster – and stay alive.
The cast also includes Robert Cavanah (Tomb Raider), Ruper Holliday Evans (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and 80s movie legend Michael Paré (Streets of Fire) in a scene-stealing cameo.
Producer Jonathan Sothcott said “Knightfall is the film I’ve always wanted to make. It’s my fourth with Ian Ogilvy and our best yet and my first with Geoffrey Moore who has all the charisma and screen presence of his father. Putting them on opposite sides of the board with Jeanine to play for was a great concept and I’m delighted to say that this movie delivers. If you love those 80s and 90s spy thrillers as much as I do, this old school action movie is going to be right up your street. Action director Darren LeFevre choreographed the stunts and fights in a slick, high impact way – this is an indie film that punches well above its weight. It’s fast-paced and has a lot of heart and it’s intrinsically British. This is exactly the type of movie that we set up Shogun Films to make and it marks a major quality bar for us as a company. You can expect a lot more films in a similar vein in future.”
SABAN FILMS will release Knightfall on Digital and VOD in the USA on September 11th.
