Circle Films Heads Up Jon Hewitt's Stylish Underworld Thriller 'X'
March 24, 2010 14:10

Moving toward a four-week Kings Cross shoot beginning April 7, X – the new feature film by maverick writer/director Jon Hewitt (ACOLYTES,
DARKLOVESTORY, REDBALL, BLOODLUST) & actress/writer Belinda McClory (ACOLYTES, THE MATRIX) – is, in the words of Hewitt, “a sizzling adults-only thriller set in the twilight zone of sex-for-sale.”

A roller-coaster ride through a lurid red-light world of high-class escorts, hookers and bent cops, X chronicles a chance encounter on the mean streets of Kings Cross that changes the course of two women’s lives.

Leading the cast are two of Australia’s most exciting young actors. Viva Bianca, star of the hit US series SPARTACUS, plays Holly, an elegant high-class call girl. In demand teen star Hanna Mangan-Lawrence (ACOLYTES, THE SQUARE, THIRST, LUCKY COUNTRY) plays fledgling hooker Shay.

Producer Lizzette Atkins of Circe Films says: “When Belinda and Jon came to me with their script at Cannes last year, I knew I had to be involved. It’s erotic, fearless, action packed, intensely psychological. It has international appeal and two amazing lead roles for women.”

For director Hewitt the appeal of the story lies in its heroines. “We’ve got two women on screen for the entire film – complex female characters who are individual, fully formed. That makes us different from the get go.”

Executive Producer and distributor, Peter Castaldi, sums it up: “My distribution company, The Pack, prides itself on seeking out and supporting Australian features that are daring, fresh and international; X is just such a film.”
