What’s he in next?
He’s got two short films in aspiring directors coming up, a leading role in the upcoming debut film by Mark Abraham called ‘Peterman’ and, more notably, in Ron Scalpello’s upcoming film ‘Pressure’, a director that Joe has worked with before on ‘Offender’. The film ‘Pressure’ is about a group of four men who get trapped in their saturation bell at the bottom of the ocean off the Kenyan coast. It’s supposedly got a script in a similar vein as Apollo 13 and Solaris, using the benefits of psychological games to ramp up the thrills and realistic horror of their situation… I think being stuck at the bottom of the ocean is anyone’s worse nightmare, to be honest. Sounds good.
Also there is Carol Morely’s ‘The Falling’, which stars Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams as Lydia, a girl that is at the centre of a mysterious fainting epidemic, who is determined to discover the cause of the malady spreading through her British all-girl school in 1969, a year when the whole world seems poised on the brink of change. Joe Cole is on hand as Kenneth but we are yet to understand his role within the film.
