Interview: Gerard Johnson talks ‘Muscle’

In his latest interview/podcast, host and screenwriter Stuart Wright interviews writer/director Gerard Johnson about his latest feature film, the neo – ‘Newcastle’ – noir thriller Muscle.

Simon is a young man who has been working in an ordinary office for a long time. He leads a measured lifestyle, in which every day he repeats the previous one. Routine tightens deeper and deeper, and it seems that he will never get out of it. But one day a personal trainer named Terry bursts into his everyday life. From that moment on, everything changes in the most dramatic way.

Muscle, which Craig Fairbrass, Cavan Clerkin, Peter Ferdinando, Polly Maberly, Sinead Matthews and Mark Stobbart, is in selected UK cinemas and available across most on demand platforms including BFI Player and Curzon Player now.
