  • last year
Central City Media is delighted to announce the release of their new British mockumentary, Poison Arrows. The film will be in cinemas on 20th December & Digital Download from 2nd January 2023.

Poison Arrows comes from the creative minds of British actor Geoff Bell (Kingsman, Green Street & The Business) and cult filmmaker Simon Sprackling (Funnyman, Breakfast with Johnny Wilkinson). The film also stars James Harkness (The Victim, Rogue One, Darkest Hour), Ben Gardner Gray (Eden Lodge) & Judith Roddy (Derry Girls, The Fall).

The film also features notable sporting UK personalities including: Barry Hearn OBE (Chairman PDC, Matchroom Snooker & Boxing), Bobby George (Gone to Pot, The Real Marigold Hotel), Ray Stubbs (BBC, ESPN & BT Sports presenter) plus multiple real-life Professional Darts Champions including: Ray Van Barneveld, Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams, Trina Gulliver, James Wade, Mervyn King, Tony David and Andy ‘The Viking’ Fordham.

In addition, Keith Brymer-Jones, best known as a judge on the C4's Great British Pottery Throwdown (The Crying Potter) and Carrie Hilton award-winning kickboxer will make their big screen debuts.

Documentary filmmaker, Lewis J Maitland, is going into Medway prison to meet former darts player, Rocky Goldfingers, as he completes a fifteen-year sentence for the murder of his former teammate and protégé, Perry ‘The Poison Arrow’ Peters. A crime he continues to claim he did not commit.

Poison Arrows is Maitland’s filmed record of what happens when Rocky gets out and goes in search of whoever it was that “stitched him up”. It follows Rocky’s desperate quest to find the real killer, in a hostile, disbelieving world that’s changed beyond all recognition, from the one he left behind.

At the same time Maitland is himself on a quest, to win an illusive BAFTA, by chronicling either his subject’s slow, delusional and tragic decline - into denial and psychosis - or better still, if he’s really lucky, the discovery of one of the most shocking and extraordinary sports conspiracies of all time!
