Top Cat is back!


Benny the Ball, Fancy Fancy, Choo Choo, Spook and Brains, and the indisputable leader of the gang T.C. are back at war with the long arm of the law when the menacing Police Chief Strickland moves to town, ousting the bumbling Officer Dibble. 

Determined to put a stop to the feline antics in Hoagy's Alley with the help of a bullying robot police force, the tech-savvy Stickland threatens to be the most dastardly enemy the gang has ever faced. 

With their wise-guy lifestyle hanging in the balance T.C. and friends are forced to cash in on another of their 9 lives to curtail Strickland's reign of terror and claw their way back to the top!

That's right, Vertigo Films are proud to announce the UK release of Top Cat: The Movie for Friday June 1, 2012 in 3D. Top Cat, or T.C. as he's known to his close friends has been a hit with children and adults alike since his first appearance way back in the 1960's. I do have to admit I was rather sad when they stopped showing T.C. and the gang. But now he's back, and bigger than ever!

Vertigo Film's Rupert Preston and Allan Niblo said: "Top Cat is an iconic and much-loved character known by nearly every parent in the UK. We are thrilled to be bringing Top Cat, his mischievous gang and Officer Dibble to a whole new generation."   

The movie is set to bring the vibrancy, colour and retro-charm which we loved from the original and bring it to a new generation. After more than a 50-year hiatus, T.C. and the gang return with 'the most tip-top' adventure of them all.

Pusher (2012) Preview

Vertigo has recently confirmed the release for their latest film Pusher will be in May of this year. Pusher is a re-imagining of Nicolas Winding Refn's cult classic of the same name. For those of you not familiar with the original here is a brief breakdown.  


Frank, played by Richard Coyle (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) is a run of the mill drugs pusher. When he devises a scheme to get rich quick he decides to borrow a large quantity of money from a known drug lord. But when the deal goes wrong Frank finds himself in a whole heap of trouble. With a vast debt to repay to one of the city's most ruthless drug lords and no way to raise the cash, Frank must think quick and act quicker if he is to pay of this tyrant and regain his life. 


Pusher features some of Britain's best acting talent, with such names as Richard Coyle, Bronson Webb (The Tudors, Robin Hood, Dead Man Running) and Paul Kaye (It's All Gone Pete Tong, Match Point). So there is no lack of talent for this fast-paced, visually striking, modern day remake.
