The Fan Carpet's Holly Patrick takes to the Odeon in Covent Garden for the star studded premiere of Frank Harper's British Gangster flick St. George's Day.
She talks to Craig Fairbrass, Tony Denham, the gorgeous Keeley Hazell and the man himself Frank Harper.
St. George’s Day is a British crime thriller that follows the story of infamous gangster cousins Micky Mannock and Ray Collishaw. Having long since graduated from the terraces they now run the top firm in London. But when they lose a drug shipment belonging to the Russian Mafia, a turf war threatens to tear their empire apart.
Their only hope is a potential heist in Berlin that’ll clear their debts and set them up for life. Pursued by the Russians and the police they travel undercover with a huge English super firm who are heading across to watch the 3 Lions play Germany on St George’s Day. While the police are diverted by the England and German firms colliding head on in the mother of all battles, Micky and Ray have one shot at the heist that could save both themselves and everything they’ve ever fought for. But they hadn’t counted on a grass at the heart of their firm whose sole intent is to bring them crashing down.
When asked what his most enjoyable moment in filming, Craig Fairbrass said "All of it! I loved every second of it - I love acting, it's nice to work with guys that are also my mates - I grew up with most of them. It was lovely to be involved, I've got some great scenes with Frank."
Keeley Hazell said of her character "My character… basically I play the Peckham Princess, so she is Mickey's girlfriend and is described as "the queen of the wets" which is white estate trash."
When asked what attracted her to the role, Hazell added "I grew up in South East London, so for me I knew who this girl was, and that was it. Basically I was like 'I have to play this part because I can portray her exactly how Frank wants her portrayed."
When asked if her wrote the film with himself in mind to play the lead, Frank Harper joked "Well I thought 'if I'm going to all that trouble, I can write myself some decent lines', that's one of the reasons I did it."
