Rupert Everett, Derek Jacobi and Tom Felton have joined the ensemble cast of “Lead Heads,” described as a “drama about greed and the repercussions it has on the soul.” Also in the cast are Luke Newberry, Mark Williams and Olatunji Ayofe. Giles Borg directs. Principal photography begins in March in London.
The film centers on “a group of men, strangers to one another but all corrupted by greed, who, in their desperation, are drawn together for one night to play a game that may cost them both their souls and lives,” according to a statement from the producers, Lawrence Steven Meyers, Randy Dannenberg and John Evangelides.
Alexa Waugh is onboard to line produce. The script was written by Patrick Makin.
Borg has worked in film and television for more than 20 years, directing commercials, music videos, TV series and feature films. He made his feature debut with “1234” in 2008, a quirky music-themed drama,...

Giles Borg talks to Nerdly writer and host of the Britflicks podcast, Stuart Wright, about his route to becoming a film director and lessons learnt making his first two features: 1234 (2008) and Flutter (2011).
His third feature, Albion is gearing up to shoot later this year.
Postscript: Giles says: “Oh, and now I’ve had time to think you can say that I think the British film a lot of people won’t have seen that they should have (which stumped me in the podcast) is Winstanley. How I didn’t think of that at the time amazes me, I love that film.”...

Coming form a weary gambler, trust me when I say Giles Borg’s Flutter misses far too many beats. You won’t feel the gut-wrenching loneliness of a debilitating bad beat, nor the euphoric high of cashing in on a big win. True gamblers are in it for the sheer thrill of lady luck’s unreadable fate, yet Stephen Leslie’s screenplay remains relatively tame in the face of high stakes and higher rewards. This is a thriller based on compulsive betting, yet it feels about as dangerous as a game of truth or dare, even with human souls on the line. Blame that on strangely sluggish pacing, unequal wagers, and silly terms of acceptance, but no matter what angle you take on this suspenseless thriller, you’re bound to turn up a loser.

The Empire in Leicester Square played host (alongside four other cinemas around the country) to the third annual British Independent Film Festival last weekend, and we were there to catch the world premiere of British high-octane horror Airborne on the Friday evening, as well as a trio of films screened the following day.
As the title suggests, the festival celebrates independent filmmaking and the choice of features this year represented an encouraging mix of genres (the full list of films can be found on the festival’s website.)
Airborne
Boasting a number of familiar faces from popular genre films of the past (including ‘Last Crusade’ villain Julian Glover and a certain farm boy-turned Jedi Knight) Airborne follows a group of misfit passengers on a night flight to New York who get more than they bargained for during their stormy journey.

John is a professional gambler but when he meets a beautiful and mysterious new bookie his life starts to spiral out of control.
We might not be able to afford the cinema tickets so much these days, but the banking crisis is at least proving a rich seam for some of the films showing. While fomenting documentaries such as Inside Job shoulder along with the solid Hollywood of Wall Street 2, there’s also space at the table for a little Flutter.
Director Giles Borg starts off down the dog racing, all diamond geezers and dirty rock...
