?A Common Man? to be out soon
31 Mar, 2012
?The movie ?A Common Man? directed by veteran film maker Chandran Rutnam and shot in Sri Lanka, is due to be released soon.
In a short comment to the?Colombo Gazette actor Ben Cross said that the film has completed post production.
“A Common Man has finished post-production and the distributors are now doing their thing,? Cross told the Colombo Gazette.
The movie is a psychological thriller starring Oscar Award winner Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross as well as a host of Sri Lankan stars.
Kingsley?s character is that of a man pushed to his limits that he eventually resorts to violence. The film?s tagline is also as good as a synopsis ? ?Five bombs in the city. The clock is ticking.?
It?s more difficult to tell, though, who the creators’ sympathies are supposed to lie with ? the loose cannon or the ruthless cop? The audience will find their allegiance swinging from one to the other.
The story is adapted from a concept that has been done before, but Rutnam has taken that concept and turned it around into a situation of his real life encounters and played a major role of the film by screen playing, directing and editing it.
Rutnam’s company – Film Location Services – has in the past facilitated international movies being shot in Sri Lanka including “Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom” starring Harrison Ford.
But this is the first time he or any Sri Lankan is directing a Hollywood movie. (Colombo Gazette)
