Idris Elba in indie drama '100 Streets'

April 20, 2017 | By shadow and act

Samuel Goldwyn Films premieres the British drama “A Hundred Streets” (“100 Streets”), an ensemble feature that stars Idris Elba (who is also a producer).

Jim O’Hanlon directed the film from a script penned by Leon F. Butler.

Making its World Premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival last June (2016) before it was picked up, “A Hundred Streets” takes a fresh look at the vibrant and compelling life of a group of individuals in contemporary London. One hundred streets intersect the film’s setting, hence its title. It’s in these streets that the characters face defining moments, major choices and fundamental change in their separate lives, as they negotiate their paths through life, paths that often interweave through our hundred streets.

Elba is joined by Gemma Arterton, Charlie Creed-Miles, Franz Drameh, Kierston Wareing, Tom Cullen and Ken Stott.

The filmmakers previously described the film as a gritty, contemporary, poignant multilayered drama, with the underlying message being one of hope, and that by working as a community, things can only get better. “Crash” and “Amores Perros” are listed as inspirations.

Pippa Cross, Leon F Butler, Idris Elba and Ros Hubbard are producers.

Samuel Goldwyn is opening the film in a limited theatrical release, as well as on VOD and Digital, so you’ve got options.
