Here’s a first look at Jonathan Rhys Meyers as The Clash’s Joe Strummer in director Derrick Borte’s London Town.
In 1970s London, a 14 year old boy is introduced to The Clash by his estranged mother and it changes his life forever.
Strummer died suddenly at age 50 on December 22, 2002 in his home at Broomfield in Somerset, England, from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. Rolling Stone voted London Calling, the Clash’s classic 1980 album (released in 1979 in the UK) as the best album of the Eighties. Their 1982 song Should I Stay Or Should I Go was their biggest Us hit.
The coming-of-age drama is written by Kirsten Sheridan, Sonya Gildea and Matt Brown (director of The Man Who Knew Infinity) and produced by Tom Butterfield, Sofia Sondervan and Christine Vachon.
Daniel Huttlestone (Into The Woods) also stars.

Though the punk group has been featured on film before, it has either been in documentaries or in fiction/rockumentary blend Rude Boy, which they distanced themselves from before its release. Now comes another blend of fact and fiction, London Town, which boasts Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Daniel Huttlestone, Dougray Scott and Natascha McElhone. Derick Borte is busy directing the film now in London, working from a script by Kirsten Sheridan, Sonya Gildea and Matthew Brown. It’ll follow the story of a 14-year-old (Huttlestone) in 1970s London whose life is changed forever when his estranged mother (McElhone) introduces him to the music of the Clash.Whether this one will have an easier ride than Rude Boy is not yet clear, though Screen International reports that the film has secured the rights to a number of their hits, so the music should be authentic at least.
