Revolver aquires TonySaturday 4 November 2000

Revolver Entertainment is proud to announce its newest acquisition, TONY.  This critically acclaimed British horror film is brought to you by the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund, executive producer Paul Abbott, the creator of STATE OF PLAY and SHAMELESS, and exciting newcomer director Gerard Johnson.

Boldly crafted into a creepy yet darkly funny, this urban nightmare will lurk in your memory.  Tony tells the story of a lonely man who finds his main companionship in classic 80s action movies he owns on VHS.  That does not stop socially awkward Tony from trying to make (and keep) some real friends, for instance, a group of drug dealers who frequent his neighborhood and the women who advertise their services in Soho call boxes. But when a local child goes missing, his odd lifestyle begins to attract attention – Will his secrets be exposed?  

TONY received its world premiere at Edinburgh Film Festival 2009.  Coming to the US in 2010.
