'Comes A Bright Day' Trailer: Imogen Poots And 'Submarine' Lead In Trouble In London

Those who saw and quite liked Submarine now have a new film to look forward to, as Craig Roberts, the star of Richard Ayoade's film, is also the lead in a romantic crime movie called Comes a Bright Day. Roberts meets and falls for a jewellery sales girl (Imogen Poots) but suffers a turn of difficult events when a couple mean-minded men (Kevin McKidd, Josef Altin) attempt to rob her shop.

Simon Aboud wrote and directed, and this first trailer for the film makes it out to be an interesting little piece of work. I like what we see of the performances, and the design and general tone. Check out the footage below.

Here's a very long synopsis, via Quiet Earth. Comes a Bright Day is released next week in the UK, but there is no US release date as of yet.

SAM SMITH (Craig Roberts) is twenty, bright, ambitious and not unattractive; so earning minimum wage as a bellboy at a 5* luxury hotel isn't where he wants to be; running a restaurant with his best friend ELLIOT is. He has the people skills, the business plan and the best young chef around, but with a chronic fear of rejection, he lacks those vital investors to make the dream a reality.

MARY BRIGHT (Imogen Poots) is as radiantly beautiful as the jewellery she sells in Clara, London's most discerning jewellers. Butl ooks aren't everything. For Mary life is about so much more than material wealth and she's ready to turn her back on London and escape to the other side of the world.

When Sam meets Mary in the café where Elliot works he is very quickly and very truly smitten. Every other plan and thought goes out of the window as he fights to overcome his fear of rejection and follows Mary back to Clara with the intention of asking her out on a date. Unbeknown to Sam, armed thieves CAMERON (KevinMcKidd) and CLEGG (Josef Altin) also have an appointment at Clara and aren't planning on leaving without the million pound Stahl Papillon brooch. With the panic button pressed and armed response units swarming into the area Sam, Mary and belligerent, elderly shop owner CHARLIE (Timothy Spall) are taken hostage.

Under extreme threat and with constant twists and turns, what follows puts each of the characters and their short falls under persistent examination. This is a love story that undergoes the severest trial and sacrifice. For all of them, searching for the hidden gem reveals truths that will make their lives infinitely richer.
