Commit the most horrendous crime with horrible alacrity

Charles Dance bats his icy blues at career prospects: "Taking the director's chair for last year's Ladies in Lavender, the self-confessed "over-the-hill sex symbol" further confounded people's expectations. A modest period piece about two elderly spinsters (played by Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench), one of whom falls in love, for the first time, with a boy a third of her age, the film was a more roundly enjoyable and better-made piece of filmmaking than the vanity project some critics had expected. "It didn't move mountains or break any new ground cinematically, but I am 85% happy with it," says Dance. "But I'd like my next film to be as different as it can possibly be: maybe something full of very violent, drug-addicted people of about 18 who commit the most horrendous crime with remarkable alacrity and get away with it."
