Ben Whishaw's feature-length thriller Surge is finally set to hit UK cinemas and digital platforms on May 28.
Best known for his role in Paddington, Mary Poppins Returns, and Fargo season 4 (amongst many, many others), the actor portrays a character named Joseph in this new film, who's "trapped in a soulless job, living a life devoid of emotion and meaning."
According to the film's synopsis: "After an impulsive act of rebellion, Joseph unleashes a wilder version of himself. He is propelled on a reckless journey through London, ultimately experiencing what it feels like to be alive."
Surge had its world premiere at last year's Sundance Film Festival, where Whishaw collected a Special Jury Award for Acting.
Director Aneil Karia (Top Boy) said that: "Though Joseph might seem to be a unique case, I hope that his story is speaking to something much more universal. Now more than ever it feels like we have had enough of surface-existence and are yearning for a deeper more present experience of the world.
"I hope watching this film feels like a visceral and meaningful trip," he added.
