First look at Slow Horses star Jack Lowden’s new British thriller

A first look at Slow Horses star Jack Lowden’s new British thriller Tornado has been unveiled.

Under the direction of John Maclean, an upcoming movie is set in 1790s Britain. This film features model-songwriter Kōki as the main character, who finds herself in peril when her father’s traveling puppet show encounters a ruthless criminal group led by Sugarman (Tim Roth) and his ambitious son, Little Sugar (Lowden).

The storyline proceeds with Tornado grabbing the chance to snatch gold from the gang’s latest heist in a bid for a fresh start. This sets off an exhilarating sequence of events as Tornado struggles to dodge a deadly fate by outrunning danger.

The Glasgow Film Festival (GFF25) has recently unveiled some initial images of the movie that will kick off the festival on February 26th. This film is set to hit UK and Irish cinemas on May 23rd after its festival premiere.

In one snapshot, I find myself staring at Lowden’s ominous figure, his grip tight on a knife against Tornado’s vulnerable neck. Another image captures Tornado once more in a precarious predicament, a sword menacingly aimed straight at her.

The GFF25 is set to conclude on March 9, marking the world premiere of Martyn Robertson’s documentary titled “Make It to Munich.” This captivating film chronicles the inspiring journey of Scottish teenager Ethan Walker who, despite facing life-threatening injuries, embarks on a cycling adventure from Glasgow’s Hampden Park to Munich Football Arena in preparation for Scotland’s opening match in Euro 2024.

At the upcoming festival, I’m looking forward to checking out a few other films. One of them is “The Return” with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche in the lead roles. Another intriguing one is the post-apocalyptic musical satire titled “The End”, starring Tilda Swinton and George Mackay. Lastly, t

James McAvoy is scheduled to attend a Live Chat session, where he’ll reminisce about his acting journey so far.

As a fervent admirer, I’d like to express my thoughts on this year’s GFF program. It beautifully showcases the festival’s indispensable role within our local industry. By seamlessly connecting our films and talents with the global film scene, it brings world-class cinema right here to Glasgow, spreading its reach across Scotland and the entire UK. These words are from Isabel Davis, executive director at Screen Scotland.

The program showcases Scottish talent once more, with pieces like John Maclean’s “Tornado”, Laura Carreira’s “On Falling”, and the Glasgow-based production “Fear”, directed by Justin Chadwick featuring Martin Compston.

Tornado is out in UK and Ireland cinemas on May 23.
