Malcom McDowell ('A Clockwork Orange') and Alex Hassell ('Rivals') will star in 'Dog & Bull', with Essential Film Group taking the pic to the EFM.

Per the synopsis, Dog & Bull is billed as “a dark, hard-boiled crime-thriller, with black comedy undertones, in which legendary actor McDowell stars as a fugitive criminal hiding out as a pub landlord who questions his identity when he gets discovered by a psychotic hitman (Hassell), who is also his biggest fan.” Essential Film Group’s James Norrie said, “ Dog & Bull is a masterful re-invention of the British crime thriller, and the chemistry between the legendary Malcolm McDowell and superstar in the making Alex Hassell is nothing short of electric.
