From award-winning
director, writer and actor Noel Clarke comes the box-office
hit Adulthood, the powerful and moving sequel to
2006’s acclaimed Kidulthood. Set against the backdrop of an
unseen London underbelly, Adulthood delivers a raw, hard-hitting
reflection of what life is like for young people in a culture where
sex is currency, drugs are easy to come by and violence is a way of
life. Adulthood is released to buy and rent on
two-disc DVD (RRP: £19.99) & Blu-ray (RRP: £24.99) on 13 October
2008 from Pathé Distribution Ltd.
Both the DVD & Blu-ray are packed with fantastic special features
including in-vision and audio commentaries, music videos, deleted
scenes, outtakes and nine featurettes. The featurettes take you
further into Adulthood, letting you behind-the-scenes
on the Bashy video shoots, the cast and crew wrap party, and the
premiere and after-party. The Blu-ray disc will include a new ‘text
me’ option that sends an on-screen message during the film, giving
you the option of watching a special feature relevant to that
particular part of the film. The in-vision commentary includes a
function that lets you skip between the filmed commentary and the
feature.
Recently hailed by The Independent as one of the ‘20 Most
Influential People in British Film’, Noel Clarke (Dr. Who)
is an Olivier Award-winning actor and recipient of the ‘Best
Screenplay’ accolade at the Dinard British Film Festival for
Kidulthood. Joining Noel Clarke from the original film are
actors Adam Deacon, Femi Oyeniran, Red Madrell, Cornell S. John and
Madeleine Fairly, and new additions to the cast include Danny Dyer (The
Football Factory; The Business) and Scarlett Alice Johnson (EastEnders).
The film is accompanied by a cutting-edge urban soundtrack which
includes established names like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, and Lethal
Bizzle featuring Kate Nash, alongside rising talents Bashy, Sway and
Plan B.
After six long years, Sam Peel (Clarke) is released from jail for
killing Trife, and forced to confront the people he hurt the most,
and soon realises that life is no easier on the outside than it was
on the inside. Some have moved on, others are stuck with the
repercussions of his actions that night, but one thing’s for certain
- everyone has been forced to grow up.
During his 24 hour journey through West London, Sam struggles to
deal with his sorrow and guilt and something else he didn’t expect –
those seeking revenge. As he’s pursued by a new generation of bad
boys, Sam sets about trying to get the message across to his
pursuers that they should stop the violence, much like Trife tried
to tell him all those years ago.
As Sam battles to end the cycle of violence he started, his new
journey is one of discovery, both about the world he came from and
the new one he’s trying to create. Can Sam make something positive
from the destruction he caused or will his journey into Adulthood
end here?
Don’t miss your chance to experience this gripping, tense and gritty
film on DVD & Blu-ray this October. |
