Nubian Greene about The Heavy
“I am very happy that Frazer has chosen me to be a part of this project as an artist. It is amazing to be included in a project that involves so many cool characters to draw. I’ve always been into British gangster films...actually, just films in general. Drawing these characters in different situations is a lot of fun. I have enjoyed every minute and I’m very thankful for this opportunity.”

THE HEAVY.
Boots (Stretch), is a henchman for a successful but shady businessman, and is locked into his life of crime. Newly released from prison he attempts to leave his troubled ways behind him – but to do this he must complete just one last assignment – to assassinate his own brother Christian, an MP hotly tipped to be the next Prime Minister. When Boots is given the opportunity to finally exact his revenge on the brother who testified against him and helped land him in jail in the first place – the temptation is too great to resist… As events take a downward spiral, Boots realises that he can’t take anything for granted, especially not when family is involved.
Marcus Warren makes his directorial debut with THE HEAVY, a stylish portrayal of inner city London. Original music is by legendary music producer and DJ, Paul Oakenfold. Packing a punch, THE HEAVY doesn’t hold back and exposes a world where you can trust no one and loyalty is rare.
THE HEAVY is released in cinemas across the UK on 16th April 2010. http://www.theheavymovie.com/
