The Riot Club to premiere at TIFF starring Natalie Dormer, Max Irons and Jessica Brown Findlay
Lone Scherfig's The Riot Club has been announced as part of the Toronto Film Festival lineup.
Starring Holliday Grainger, Douglas Booth, Natalie Dormer, Jessica Brown Findlay, Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Sam Reid the film centers on two first-year students at Oxford University who join the infamous Riot Club, where reputations can be made or destroyed over the course of a single evening.
The movie is described as "a scathing dissection of the British class system" and the TIFF screening will serve as its world premiere.
Lone Scherfig came to international attention thanks to the success of "An Education," but her followup "One Day," didn't catch fire in the same way. Can "The Riot Club" find the director back in firmer footing? We'll find out soon.
The official synopsis is as follows...
A privileged young man is inducted into the exclusive, debaucherous company of Oxford's elite "Riot Club," in this scathing dissection of the British class system.
No U.S. distribution yet, but it opens in the U.K. on September 19th 2014.
