Interview – Ian McKellen & Gemma Arterton on THE CRITIC

THE CRITIC is a deliciously dark and sharp-witted thriller set in 1930s London ‘theatreland’ featuring an all-star cast including Ian McKellen, Gemma Arterton, Mark Strong, Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville. When the most feared and vicious theatre critic in town Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), finds himself suddenly in the crosshairs of the Daily Chronicle’s new owner David Brooke (Strong), he strikes a sinister Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favour. THE CRITIC opens in Irish cinemas on September 13th.

We caught up with Sir Ian McKellen & Gemma Arterton to chat about their roles in the new movie, and who knows, we might even end up on the poster….
