Elliott Gleave (aka Example) is heading to the big screen.
Fulwell 73, the London based independent production company behind such hits as The Class of 92 (Universal Pictures), One Direction 3D: This Is Us (Sony Columbia), The Guvnors (Metrodome) and The Late Late Show with James Corden, has announced the cast for their latest feature film ‘A Bus Could Run You Over’.
Rapper and singer Elliot Gleave (aka Example) is set to appear as Mac. Model and stage actress Gala Gordon will feature as Marina and Lyndon Ogbourne stars as Connor in a cast full of fresh, young British talent. Fulwell 73 are known for giving first breaks to some of the most exciting young crossover talent from the worlds of music and fashion, having previously cast crossover talent such as Rizzle Kicks’ Harley Sylvester and Ben ‘Plan B’ Dew in their cinematic productions and this latest line up continues that proud tradition.
A Bus Could Run You Over is also set to feature more established British talent such as Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings) and West End and TV stalwart Darren Day. The cast is completed by Hollywood icon Billy Zane, who has starred in some of the biggest and most commercially successful films of all time. Full cast listing below.’
‘A Bus Could Run You Over’ is a comic thriller with dark undertones and a big heart set on the island of Ibiza, and will be directed by Fulwell 73’s Ben Turner and produced by Fulwell 73’s Leo Pearlman. Despite his rich pedigree directing documentary, TV and comedy, including hits such as Class of 92, Laurie Cunningham: First Amongst Equals and numerous One Direction music videos and adverts, ‘A Bus Could Run You Over’ is Turner’s first scripted feature directorial debut, and demonstrates yet again the impressive breadth of varied, high quality productions currently coming from the Fulwell 73 stable, ranging across documentaries, TV, adverts, comedy and feature films. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Colin Butts (Is Harry Still On The Boat?, Screwed).

I’ve been choosing my projects very carefully but after meeting Ben and his team I was even more confident in the potential of this film. Can’t wait to get started’
