Ray Winstone, Colm Meaney and Jack Huston are starring in a new UK comedy-thriller, "The Hot Potato."
Directed by Tim Lewiston, the film is set in 1969 and follows an explosion at a government research which eventually leads to Winstone and Huston's characters coming into possession of a large lump of Uranium.
Setting out to find out how much this "hot potato" is worth, they end up on an increasingly dangerous and comedic adventure.
Also starring are David Harewood, John Lynch, Phil Davis, Derren Nesbitt, Lois Winstone, Maike Bilitis, Jean Louis Sbille and (footballer's wife) Louise Redknapp.
Principal photography began on September 27th and continues for seven weeks in Belgium and the UK.
Lewiston, in his directorial debut, also wrote the film and is producing with Alan Latham, Robert How, Novak Productions, uFilm and Wardour Pictures.
