In a dramatic return to the screen, 52-year-old actress Danniella Westbrook is set to star in the new independent British film 'Tales From the Trap'. The gritty urban drama, produced by Terry Stone, will explore the harsh realities of South London's gang culture, drill music scene, and inner-city violence.
Westbrook, who found fame at the age of 16 portraying Sam Mitchell on the BBC soap opera EastEnders, has not appeared in a film or TV show since mid-2016. Now, she is poised to make her long-awaited comeback, joining a cast that includes Stone, Vas Blackwood, Frazer Clarke, Judith Shekoni, and newcomer Grime MC Amzzino.
Producer Stone, known for his work on the 'Rise of the Footsoldier' franchise and other crime classics, calls 'Tales From the Trap' a "powerful modern evolution" of the genre he has helped define. The film is expected to be a raw and uncompromising exploration of the challenges faced by those living in South London's inner-city neighborhoods.
As Westbrook prepares to take on her first acting role in nearly a decade, fans and industry observers alike are eager to see how the former EastEnders star will navigate this gritty and complex narrative. With its focus on the harsh realities of urban life, 'Tales From the Trap' promises to be a compelling and thought-provoking addition to the British film landscape.
