City of Tiny Lights (Riz Ahmed / Billie Piper)

by **WyldeMan** 1/20/2017, 10:47 am

Meet 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.

Like. Can't seem to find any release dates for it.

Riz was great in The Night Of, and I've always enjoyed Billie Piper.

I think my introduction to Riz was in Nightcrawler, now he's got Night Of and Rogue One and seems to be landing lots of work.

Here's what I could find on the release:

City of Tiny Lights will land in UK theaters on April 7, 2017. The film doesn’t have a US distributor yet.
