Netflix had premiered the first photos from “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Conclave” director Edward Berger’s new thriller feature “Ballad of a Small Player”.
In addition, the film has been set for an October 15th U.S. theatrical release ahead of the film premiering on the streaming service on October 29th.
Colin Farrell stars as Lord Doyle, a high‑stakes gambler currently laying low in Macau after both his past and mounting debts have begun to catch up with him.
While there, he meets a kindred spirit who may hold the key to his salvation. Fala Chen, Deanie Ip, Alex Jennings and Tilda Swinton co-star.
Based on Lawrence Osborne’s novel of the same name, Rowan Joffe (“The American,” “28 Weeks Later”) adapts screenplay. Mike Goodridge and Matthew James Wilkinson produce.
Farrell is hot off his “The Penguin” Emmy nomination, while Berger’s two most recent films have both been major awards contenders.
