Layout 1 Momentum Pictures have sent us the trailer for Ray Winstone’s latest film, the awesome looking 44 INCH CHEST, also starring Joanne Whalley, John Hurt, Ian McShane and Stephen Dillane. Directed by Malcolm Venville, 44 Inch Chest is a gangster film with a real difference. This isn’t about drugs, it isn’t about hustling, no, this gangster is going through divorce!

Colin Diamond (RAY WINSTONE) is in agony, shattered by the bombshell of his wife’s (JOANNE WHALLEY) infidelity with a young French waiter. His motley crew of friends – Old Man Peanut (JOHN HURT), Meredith (IAN MCSHANE), Archie (TOM WILKINSON), and Mal (STEPHEN DILLANE) – kidnap Loverboy (MELVIL POUPAUD), and assemble a kangaroo court so that Colin can restore his manhood with revenge. A very bumpy night ensues for Loverboy whose life is at stake as Colin wrestles with heartbreak, anger, madness, love and gargantuan self-pity.

Potent, provocative and outrageously profane, this visceral exploration of the masculine ego at breaking point is penned by Sexy Beast writers Louis Mellis and David Scinto.

44 Inch Chest hits UK cinemas on 22nd January 2010, check out the new trailer below:
