Must have been made for the MTV monsters...
Gimmicky, pseudo-intellectual and Norrington really isn't as clever as he believes he is.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a disaster, Blade was stylish but vacuous - an astounding career with paltry returns - considering the investment.
Is anyone looking forward to his next project - it's been a while - is it worth waiting for?
Because...The Last Minute is the last straw for this faux talent.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The clock is ticking towards The Last Minute, but no one knows it. No one except Billy Byrne - young, cool and talented, he's the Next Big Thing. At least that's what the London glitterazzi are saying, on the streets, in the clubs, in the Business. But the glitterazzi turn out to be wrong and Billy Byrne is all over in a split second. His world detonates. His self-esteem splinters. Suddenly he's on a rollercoaster ride into the London underworld - a dangerous land of murderers, thieves and talent agents.
