Revolver Entertainment have secured the rights to Alex De Rakoff's Dead Man Running and are set for a UK theatrical release on October 30, 2009.

The film stars Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as gangster and loan shark Mr Thigo as well as Danny Dyer and Tamer Hassan (following their hugely successful partnership in City Rats), Monet Mazur and Brenda Blethyn.

When it becomes apparent that the recession is hitting the criminal world as hard as it is hitting Wall Street, notorious gangster and loan shark, Mr. Thigo (50 Cent) arrives in London to shake things up and make an example out of one of his late payers.
 
Already struggling financially, reformed ex-con Nick is given exactly 24 hours to come up with the money left on his bill or he is literally a dead man running. As a guarantee, Thigo’s men hold Nick’s wheelchair-bound mum (Brenda Blethyn) hostage, leaving him no choice but to comply. Enlisting the help of his best mate, Bing (Danny Dyer), the boys embark on a frantic race against the clock. Their mission takes them from the dog tracks of East London to the underground drug scene of rural Manchester as they try every trick and scam in the book to get the cash before it’s too late.
