The brand new trailer for VILLAIN has been released today, starring Craig Fairbrass (The Rise of the Footsoldier franchise, Muscle), Robert Glenister (Live by Night, Journey’s End), George Russo (I Am Soldier) and Izuka Hoyle (Mary Queen of Scots).
VILLAIN follows the harrowing journey of Eddie Franks (Fairbrass).

A fantastic, gritty British genre film VILLAIN depicts the poignant journey of a man trying to mend mistakes of the past.
