After extending his range with heist caper 4.3.2.1, actor/director/writer/producer/tea-maker Noel Clarke is considering science-fiction next. Reign Of Death is a sci-fi noir short film starring Clarke and written and directed by Matthew Savage. It’s stunningly shot and well worth watching and now the pair are looking to turn it into a full-length film.*

“The feature takes place within the same universe as the short, but it’s darker and more sinister in tone,” says Savage. “It follows an investigative storyline, with Noel’s gumshoe character taking the lead. The short was an experiment in creating a visually interesting environment within which to tell our story.”

Savage, who has previously created concept art for The Dark Knight and Kick-Ass, met his star when they were both working on Doctor Who.
