Ok… so we finally get our first real look at the British drama/comedy starring Brit renaissance man Noel Clarke and Thandie Newton, amongst others, by way of a trailer which I embedded below.

Titled Huge, the film premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival last summer, has played a few others since then, and is only now getting a theatrical release… but just in UK theaters, next month – July 8th, specifically! Will it travel west for those of us here in the States? I dunno… Clarke isn’t quite a known “name” here in the USA, although Thandie has some reach – much more-so than Clarke. So, who knows. Depends on how well it’s received in the UK probably.

So what’s Huge about again?

Synopsis:

Warren and Clark meet when Clark heckles Warren on stage in a crowded comedy club. Their improvised banter goes down a storm, and Warren becomes convinced that destiny has spoken: Warren and Clark are meant to be the biggest comedy double act of all time. There’s only one slight problem: they are terrible and can’t get a gig. As their frustration mounts, and their efforts to get noticed become increasingly desperate, their bosom-buddy friendship begins to curdle into bitter rivalry. In a world that wants to deny their destiny, Warren and Clark must find a way to stick together if they are to have a chance of making it huge.

Noel Clarke plays “Clark.” Johnny Harris plays “Warren.”

Thandie Newton plays an entertainment agent from the USA.
