Screen Daily Writes:
The film is being directed by first time feature film-makers Ronnie Thompson and James Nunn from a script by James Moran.
Skins and Eden Lake actor Jack O’Connell (a former Screen International Star of Tomorrow) will star in gritty British drama Tower Block, alongside Sheridan Smith who starred in West End musical Legally Blonde.
EW
The actor, who joined Quantico in season 2 as slippery wannabe CIA agent (and undercover British Intelligence operative) Harry Doyle, will return in the ABC drama’s third season as a series regular. Harry was last seen being threatened by his ex-lover and former Farm classmate Sebastian (David Lim), who drove him away from joining the CIA-FBI task force created by then-president Claire Haas (Marcia Cross).

The Weinstein Company said today it is acquiring U.S. rights to HHhH, a Nazi-era thriller from The Connection director Cédric Jimenez. It is based on Laurent Binet’s bestselling historical novel. Jason Clarke, Rosamund Pike, Jack O’Connell, Jack Reynor and Mia Wasikowska are attached to star and production began this month in Budapest.
Don't know what kind of ad campaign you can center around a name like that, but I'll bit.
If they could market "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" back in 1988 then anything is possible.
They are all well known in the UK and I myself remember James Moran from Torchwood...(wish he was still on it) and Sheridan is or was on the British version of Being Human. Although I've never seen that one, I'm liking the one the SyFy channel so I'll bet that one is even better.
I'm looking forward to this 'Tower Block' coming out.
