Rory Kinnear Takes the Lead Again in This Inspirational True Story
In the upcoming series “Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger,” renowned actor Rory Kinnear, known for his roles in “Black Mirror,” “James Bond,” “Men,” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” steps into the shoes of an ordinary man named Dave Fishwick. Joining him is Jo Hartley, best known for her role in “Eddie the Eagle,” who portrays Nikki Fishwick.
Originally released a year ago, Chris Foggin directs and Piers Ashworth writes the script for “Bank of Dave.” Both return for the upcoming sequel. The original film, spearheaded by Kinnear, is inspired by the real-life story of Dave Fishwick, a self-made millionaire from Burnley, Lancashire who defied the high-ranking financial authorities of London to establish “The Bank of Dave.” This grassroots bank aimed to revitalize an economically struggling area, one of the most neglected towns in the United Kingdom.
The live-action comedy-drama received widespread praise when it initially premiered, and currently boasts an impressive 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator site. As summarized by the critics, “Bank of Dave” is a heartwarming tale of an underdog, inspired by true events, that may not stand out among similar films, but it certainly offers plenty of charm and sweetness.
