Last week, Phoenix Film Fest organizers announced that the opening-night film kicking off the 2014 edition of the event will be Stephen Knight’s Locke. Knight wrote the screenplay for Eastern Promises, and Locke marks his second outing as a full-length feature director.
Starring Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as Ivan Locke and Ruth Wilson (Luther), the R-rated drama traces Locke’s life falling apart in the course of a car ride.
The full festival schedule is set for release in mid-February.
Tickets will be available Monday, Feburary 17, with prices ranging from $13 for a single-screening ticket to $300 for an all-access pass, via www.phoenixfilmfestival.com/tickets or by calling 602-955-6444.
