It was back in September that we first caught word on a project by first time director Mo Ali titled Shank. Taking its lead from UK gang culture, Shank throws a liberal helping of dystopia into the mix - set in a future London - where society has collapsed, and food is the most valuable commodity in the world. The official site for the film has just gone live and while not yet fully stocked with goodies, there’s some content to explore. Shank hit post production in October and current word is, its due for release in March 2010.

Synopsis: In a London of the future, the gap between rich and poor has grown to epic proportions and food has replaced drugs and guns as a priceless commodity. Junior and his gang the Paper Chaserz trade in ‘munchies’ but stay away from the territory disputes and the violence. A tip off about a food delivery leads to a conflict with a rival gang and the death of one of their own. Now Junior has to decide whether to stay true to his principles or whether to drag them all into a quest for revenge that could get them killed.
