A movie treat for you today to launch the new working week: new photo shoot pictures showing the leading characters of the long awaited thriller HIGH RISE which should hit the cinemas in the United King this March (arriving a year later after the 40 year anniversary of the release of the book) as the big screen adaptation of J.G. Ballard's famous novel of the same name. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the movie boasts the most star studded of ensemble casts lead by two of our most favourite hunks on the planet Tom Hiddleston and Luke Evans, alonside Jeremy Irons, James Purefoy, Keeley Hawes, Elisabeth Moss and Sienna Guillory. Both Hiddles and Lukey were nominated for British Independent Film Awards for their roles in the movie.

WELCOME TO THE HIGH LIFE  
London, 1975. Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) is a young doctor seduced by the lifestyle in a HIGH RISE, an isolated community, cut off from the rest of society in their luxury tower block, and its creator, the architect Anthony Royal (Jeremy Irons). Taking up residence on the twenty-fifth floor, Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Sienna Miller). After Laing befriends Richard Wilder (Luke Evans), a documentary filmmaker relegated to the second floor who is determined to provoke the class injustices inherent in the HIGH RISE, a dangerous social situation develops and the high-rise eventually fragments into violent tribes.
