Liverpool FC and Stray Dogs Films today launched the official trailer for new British comedy One Night in Istanbul, which will be released exclusively in ODEON cinemas from 11th September 2014.

Set against the backdrop of one of the football’s most remarkable comebacks, the gripping 2005 Champions League final when Liverpool faced AC Milan, One Night In Istanbul follows two down-on-their-luck Liverpool cabbies, Tommy and Gerry, who strike an unusual deal with a local gangster to take their sons on a trip of a lifetime, to watch their beloved team play in the Champions League final in Istanbul. However, big trouble awaits them, in the form of two ruthless crooks and a huge bag of stolen cash. It’s not long before the pressure on the pitch is almost as heated as the action off it.

Based on the original hit stage play by Nicky Allt and featuring a host of well-loved acting talent, including Paul Barber (The Full Monty, Only Fools and Horses), Samantha Womack (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eastenders), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow, The Parole Officer) and Lucien Laviscount (Waterloo Road),One Night In Istanbul is directed by James Marquand (Dead Man’s Cards) and produced by Krystian Kozlowski (I Against I), Matthew Whyte (Dead Man’s Cards).
