Charles will be in The Riders

by Robert Connolly with  Sam Worthington and Timothy Spall
Based on the award-winning novel by Tim Winton, “The Riders” will shoot on location on the Dalmatian Coast and in Paris.
Michael Hirst, Fancesca Brill and Brooks-Smith adapted the screenplay, which centers  on “Australian expatriate Scully(Worthington)who prepares to start a new family with his wife Jennifer and young daughter Bille in Ireland. His life is blown apart when he goes to the airport to meet his family, but finds only Billie and no message from his missing wife. With Billie in tow, he travels to Korcula and Paris in search of Jennifer : beginning a journey of self discovery that will alter the course of his life in ways he could never have envisaged.”
The Australian/UK co-production, to be delivered January 2014, will be distributed internationally by Stealth Media Group.

As a gun-for-hire, Connolly has signed to direct The Riders, a mystery thriller based on a Tim Winton novel, for UK-based Stealth Media Group, which holds the international rights, and producers Robert Fox and Tim White. Sam Worthington will play an Australian expatriate who prepares to start a new life with his family in Northern Ireland and finds when he arrives in Belfast that his wife has disappeared. Charles Dance, Alexandra Maria Lara and Timothy Spall co-star. Shooting is due to start next February on the island of Korcula on the Dalmatian Coast and in Budapest. Cinetic Media is shopping the US rights

Charles at the critics' circle theatre awards 2007

Amongst the acceptance speeches, Charles Dance caused a stir by effectively biting the hands that fed him. After collecting his Best Actor Award for Shadowlands, Dance pulled out a sheet of paper and disdainfully re-read a clutch of “sobering”, unflattering reviews from earlier in his career. Written by Robert Gore-Langton (formerly of the Daily Express), our own Michael Coveney (then of the Daily Mail) and Charles Spencer (stood next to Dance on the stage as the actor spoke), the historic notices dismissed Dance as “bland”, “dull”, “weak” and “undeserving” of his fame. The actor said that he had, in subsequent years, stopped reading reviews – though he understood that he and Shadowlands received very good ones.

Sal confronts the builder who admits he is renovating the property for himself, leaving her upset that he lied about the actor, using him as a cover for his plans - and Jock no choice but to find a way to make amends
