John Slattery’s God’s Pocket released in August

Mad Menā€™s John Slattery makes his feature film directorial debut with Godā€™s Pocket which will be released on 8th August 2014.

Based on the novel by award-winning author Pete Dexler, the 1970s set story is a chilling and gritty dark comedy. Godā€™s Pocket stars the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Turturro, Eddie Marsan, Caleb Landry Jones and Christina Hendricks.

The synopsis for the movie is: When Mickey’s (Seymour Hoffman) crazy stepson Leon (Landry Jones) is killed in a construction ‘accident’, nobody in the working class neighbourhood of Godā€™s Pocket is sorry he’s gone. Mickey tries to bury the bad news with the body, but when the boy’s mother (Hendricks) demands the truth, and a local reporter (Jenkins) starts sniffing around, Mickey finds himself stuck in a darkly comedic life and death struggle. A body he canā€™t bury, a wife he canā€™t please and a debt he canā€™t pay.

Godā€™s Pocket is a Park Pictures Film in association with Cooperā€™s Town Productions and Shoestring Pictures.
