The Veteran Banner

The London shot The Veteran has an all-star cast including the debonair Toby Kebbell (RocknRolla), the iconic Brian Cox (Bourne Supremacy) and action star Mem Ferda (The Crew, Legacy). In the picture, Ferda plays Hakeem "a suspected bomb maker," (Ferda) who terrorizes the streets of London. No stranger to controversy, The Veteran has made headlines in BBC News for its zealous use of thousands of blanks in and around South London's Heygate Estate ((BBC Headlines).

This bold film is being helmed by director Mathew Hope, who is most widely know in the horror world for his production of the independent zombie picture The Vanguard. Stay tuned for more developments on this thriller, as The Veteran quickly approaches its 2011 release date. Lots more details are available below on this film, including a picture of the villain Hakeem (Ferda).

"A young soldier returning home from Afghanistan is offered a job in clandestine surveillance of suspected terrorists and becomes obsessed with saving a young Anglo-Asian woman from a group of fanatics.

When his plan to assassinate the fanatics is sabotaged by the security services, who have their own hidden agenda, his rage spirals out of control with bloody consequences" (The Veteran).
