Following in the footsteps of everyone from Joker to Spiderman to Wolverine, Tony Tucker (played by Terry Stone) gets his own origin story, starring alongside British legends Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Snatch) and Keith Allen (Kingsman, Shallow Grave).

Based on a true story, the film is a brutal account of how real-life, hard-as-nails Falklands War veteran Tony Tucker came to be involved in one of the most notorious gangland murders in British history. When a down-on-his-luck Tony Tucker lands a job as a nightclub doorman after saving the owner’s grandson, he will do whatever it takes to rise to the top of the game.

A prequel to the original Rise of The Footsoldier film made in 2007, this is a future Brit gangster classic that gives the likes of Layer Cake, The Gentlemen and Legend a run for their money.

As well as Vinnie, who plays a fearsome doorman Bernard O'Mahoney, and Allen as formidable nightclub owner Dave Simms, the film also features British actors including Craig Fairbrass (Muscle) and Roland Manookian (RocknRolla).

Terry Stone quotes: “I’m absolutely buzzing for people to see the story of Tony Tucker, he’s dark and dangerous and I love it. I employed the ‘method’ acting technique and trained hard, boxed, lost 1.5 stone and got in really good shape for the biggest role of my career, I became Tony Tucker’.
Directed by Nick Nevern (The Hooligan Factory), who also co-wrote the script with producer Andrew Loveday, Rise of The Footsolder Origins is being released in the UK by Signature Entertainment.

Terry Stone also played the co-lead of one of the biggest gangster films in 2019: as Jack Spot in the 1930's - 1950's period crime film Once Upon a Time in London, which made breakthrough blockbuster sales and when it was released in the UK on Netflix charted at No.3 in their Top Ten Chart.

Terry's naturalistic style of acting has also seen him play some memorable leading roles such as corrupt cop Detective Sergeant Andy White in the Bafta Nominated and Raindance Film Festival Award winning Rollin' With The Nines. This then led Terry to develop a book called Muscle into Rise of The Footsoldier which has gone on to become the famous film franchise.

To date Terry has appeared in 34 Films/TV shows and has produced 28 films with all the major Hollywood Studios and Online Platforms. Terry will be starring in a new film later this year called The Last Heist.
