A woman with a plan, a Parliament heist, and unique characters spread across is the best way to describe the upcoming movie, The Whip. Directed by Christopher Presswell and written by Presswell and Forgács W. András, The Whip brings something new to the table while still staying true to the age-old heist sub-genre which everyone knows and loves, and we’re here to tell you more about it.
Keeping in mind the current political climate, this might just be the most interesting time to learn more about Presswell’s upcoming movie as you patiently wait for its release which is only a couple of months away.
What is the Plot of The Whip?
A heist that involves the Houses of Parliament sounds a lot more dangerous than robbing a bank, but Sadie Baxter, the protagonist of The Whip, will stop at nothing to accomplish the mission.
As a full-time career, Sadie’s life is about to turn upside down because of a certain bill that might be passed, but she must stop it from happening, which means stealing secrets and taking on a task unlike never before. You can catch a glimpse of Sadie and her determination in the official trailer of The Whip.
The Cast of The Whip
Several talented actors and actresses have to come together to be a part of The Whip, and this cast will be led by none other than Shian Denovan, who plays the role of Sadie Baxter.
You might recognize Denovan from her roles in her previous projects like Cat Sick Blues, Sawney: Flesh of Man, and Murder in the Car Park.
Joining Denovan in the cast of The Whip are Gala Wesson ( Anna Karenina, An Assassin Walks Through the Trees), Tom Knight (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Amazing Grace), Daniel Davids (Meet the Adebanjos, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Meg Fozzard, Aislinn De’Ath (Hurricane, Wireless), and Rachel Dobell (The Mystery of Mr. E, Rupture) amongst others.
