The Bill's Billy Murray returns to the screen in gangland thriller NEMESIS


London – February 10, 2020

Much-loved veteran actor Billy Murray is making his screen return, five years after he starred opposite Ian Ogilvy and Lysette Anthony in We Still Steal the Old Way.

In NEMESIS, Murray plays John Morgan, an underworld kingpin whose return to London triggers a cataclysm of violence, retribution and murder.

Murray is perhaps best known for his celebrated television roles in The Bill (and its various spin-offs focusing on his character such as Beech on the Run and Beech is Back) and EastEnders, in which he played gangster Johnny Allen. His five-decade career also encompasses The Sweeney, The Professionals, The Rock Follies and A Touch of Frost on television, and movies such as McVicar, Performance, Essex Boys, Rise of the Footsoldier and Freight. He is also beloved as the voice of the iconic Captain Price in the multi-billion-dollar Call of Duty video game franchise.

Joining Murray as his glamorous wife Sadie is stunning actress Jeanine Nerissa, who recently appeared in The Exorcism of Karen Walker and The Krays: Dead Man Walking. As their daughter, Ambra Moore – granddaughter of James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore – makes her big screen bow.

Also making his film debut is entrepreneur and social media influencer Danny Bear, who is hotly tipped for Britflick stardom.

Further casting is expected to be announced soon.

NEMESIS is written by Adam Stephen Kelly who also serves as co-producer, directed by James Crow and produced by Jonathan Sothcott. Filming begins Spring 2020.

NEMESIS is the first movie from new London-based indie production startup Shogun Films, which has an ambitious slate for 2020/21 including revenge thriller Renegades, '80s action movie pastiche Assault on Hazard Rock, bare knuckle fighting biopic Pretty Boy, and siege thriller Man of War. There is also a feature documentary to be announced soon.

Director James Crow commented: “I’m incredibly excited to be directing Billy Murray – he is one of the true icons of British film and television. Nemesis is a dark, violent, gritty British crime film. If you liked Vendetta and Piggy, this will be right up your street. We are assembling a heavyweight cast to ensure we do the material justice”.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) heads 4DX and ScreenX at Cineworld Cinemas in the UK and Ireland


Warner Bros. Pictures’ Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the wildly explosive and totally unapologetic instalment in the DC cinematic universe, is set to release in 4DX and ScreenX on 7th February, exclusively at Cineworld Cinemas in the UK and Ireland.

The movie—told entirely from Harley Quinn’s askew point of view—is a white-knuckle ride for your senses, so what better place to experience the film’s full effect than at ScreenX and 4DX? ScreenX will engulf audiences in a Gotham they’ve never seen before, with three screens surrounding the audience in neon-lit mayhem. The screens, which cover the walls on either side of the main screen, are activated during the film’s most awe-inspiring moments to elevate the sensory effects of the film. 4DX offers no better way for audiences to feel as if they are riding right along-side Harley Quinn, Huntress, Black Canary, Renee Montoya and Cassandra Cain, with a wide range of in-cinema special effects, including vibration, water, wind,  scents and motion chairs that replicate the movements on-screen.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) is in UK and Ireland cinemas from 7th February 2020.

Director: Cathy Yan

Writer: Christina Hodson, based on characters from DC

Producers: Margot Robbie, Bryan Unkeless, Sue Kroll

Cast: Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth-Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Ella Jay Basco, Chris Messina and Ewan McGregor


About the film:
You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.
