Blood

Zoë is filming a another new film (due for release in 2013) called Blood. Zoë and actress Natasha Little are playing the women behind a couple of hardened cops who go too far when they investigate a murder.

Thriller charting the moral collapse of a police family. Two cop brothers, smothered by the shadow of their former police chief father, must investigate a crime they themselves have committed.

The two women are the girlfriend and wife of officers being played by Stephen Graham and Paul Bettany in the taut thriller Blood, which Nick Murphy will direct at locations on the Wirral in February 2012.

Bettany and Graham play brothers who come into close contact with a murder suspect (Ben Crompton). Brian Cox, who was so good in Ralph Fiennes’s great Shakespeare film Coriolanus, plays Bettany and Graham’s retired police-chief dad, and Mark Strong — who never stops working — plays an officer with a suspicious mind. Comic legend Ade Edmonson has a cameo role.

Blood is being produced by Pippa Harris, with her Neal Street Productions partner Sam Mendes as executive producer.

There is also backing from BBC Films. The film is based on the TV drama Conviction, written by Bill Gallagher eight years ago. He has adapted his story for the big screen.
