Share
Danny Dyer & Nick Love team up for their first time since 2007 with 'Marching Powder' which is rumoured for release next year.
Let's rewind back to 2007 for a brief moment. There was that massive Golden Eagle revival courtesy of Lyle & Scott & the Kaiser Chiefs were dominating the airwaves with Ruby. It was also the last time Danny Dyer & Nick Love actually worked together on a film. Starting in 2001 with 'Goodbye Charlie Bright' the collaboration between cheeky chappy' actor and diamond geezer' producer gave us some of the most talked about British films of the early to mid noughties. The good news for fans of cult classics like The Football Factory & The Business is that Danny Dyer & Nick Love are back with Marching Powder which is rumoured to hit the big screen next year. Marking 20 years since the original Football Factory from 2004, the film will also mark Dyer's 5th film in the saddle with the London born director A celebration of lad culture & Lacoste it was Goodbye Charlie Bright that really set the benchmark for further cult classics between Dyer & Love. The Football Factory in 2004 saw Dyer play the role of Tommy Johnson who was "another bored male approaching 30 in a dead-end job who lived for the weekend" with a penchant for "Casual sex, watered-down lager, heavily cut drugs and occasionally kicking' fuck out of someone". Then there was The Business from 2005 which was saw Dyer channel his inner 80s Casual in Marbella with "more guns than Goodfellas, more coke than Casino and more swearing than Scarface", as Front Magazine famously quoted after its release.

In 2013 he then joined EastEnders as Mick Carter as well as doing various other films and TV from Skins to a show about how he is actually related to King Edward II. Love on the other hand has worked on the likes of Bulletproof and more recently A Town Called Malice which we also had the privilege of working alongside. The next chapter between Danny Dyer & Nick Love sees the two British stalwarts team up once again with Marching Powder which follows the story of Jack (Danny Dyer), a middle-aged, drug-taking football hooligan, who is arrested and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison. Speaking about the film Danny Dyer said; 'I'm buzzing to be getting back on the horse with Nick, he's the only fucking idiot stupid enough. Marching Powder is class, we're back in the world of The Football Factory with more violence, more drugs and lots of fucking comedy, you're going to love it.' Keep posted at 80s Casual Classics for further updates surrounding the release of Marching Powder.
