First Look: Trailer Released for Riz Ahmed’s ‘City Of Tiny Lights’

By Rishma • On What is New , ,

rizahmedMeet Tommy Akhtar (Riz Ahmed), crick­et fan, devoted son to an ail­ing fath­er and dead­beat private eye. He’s got an office above a cab firm, a taste for cigar­ettes and bour­bon, and a finely tuned mor­al com­pass that he keeps hid­den behind a sharp cyn­icism. When Tommy walks into his office one morn­ing to find high-class pros­ti­tute Melody seek­ing his help, he’s launched into a story that plays as an utterly ori­gin­al mod­ern noir.

Dir­ec­ted by Pete Trav­is (Vant­age Point, Dredd), Riz Ahmed (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Night Of) stars along­side Bil­lie Piper (Penny Dread­ful, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Yerma) as Shel­ley, Tommy’s long-lost love. The ensemble cast includes Cush Jumbo (Josephine and I, The Inbetween­ers) and Roshan Seth (Indi­an Sum­mers, My Beau­ti­ful Laundrette). Rebecca O’Brien (I, Daniel Blake) pro­duces.

Set in West Lon­don, CITY OF TINY LIGHTS is co-writ­ten by author Patrick Neate, and based on his nov­el of the same name. It is a unique por­trait of con­tem­por­ary Lon­don as a teem­ing mul­ti­cul­tur­al met­ro­pol­is where noth­ing is as it seems.
