From The Scotsman:
Martin Compston is fast becoming the go-to guy for directors seeking a leading man with an edge. We join him as he does his best Daniel Craig impression in the Irish Sea
We are sheltering from a howling gale in a small, out-of-season seaside resort on the east coast of Ireland. Battered by the fierce wind roaring in off the Irish Sea, a tired-looking fairground appears to be struggling to remain upright. At the fairground – which is in fact a set for a new ITV1 drama The Ice Cream Girls – bored teenagers light up in an apathetic fashion by the waltzer while their friends try in vain to stop their candy floss blowing away in the gale-force winds. Next to them stands another ride, festooned with pictures of young women in bikinis looking inexplicably cheery. Just beyond the fairground, the raging sea is a dark shade of grey. Enormous breakers crash on to the shingle beach with a sound like thunder. It’s not what you would call a good day to go swimming but unfortunately for him – that’s exactly what Martin Compston is about to do.

Not a lot of people know this but I'm very good at… dancing. I had to learn in a hurry when I was in the film SoulBoy, about the Northern soul scene in the 70s. For a while after that, I was always first up on the dance floor.
My best friend is… I have two - both are from Greenock, my home town in Scotland. I have good friends in London, too, but there is something about the pals you grew up with that's special. They know exactly who you are.

Line of Duty star Martin Compston will play one of the great train robbers in a BBC1 drama marking the 50th anniversary of the Royal Mail heist. Compston will star as getaway driver Roy James alongside Luke Evans (Tamara Drewe, The Three Musketeers) who will play Bruce Reynolds, who died last week. Neil Maskell, who recently appeared in Channel 4's Utopia, will play Ronald "Buster" Edwards.
The 1963 robbery will be told in two 90-minute parts, beginning with the "robber's tale" and the "copper's tale". Also starring in the World Productions drama will be Jack Roth – son of Tim – Del Synnott, Paul Anderson and Jack Gordon. The two-part take on the robbery will also serve to further differentiate it from ITV's Mrs Biggs, which left the platform last year and told the story from the perspective of Biggs' relationship with his then wife, Charmian, played by Sheridan Smith.

Penned by Steven Kendall, “Six friends, who’ve known each other from childhood, break into the tower block they lived in as kids, now deserted and condemned, to rig-up a pirate radio station, get high and party.

'The Wee Man' - review by The List


The Wee Man (2 stars)

Martin Compston stars in this uneven crime drama that glamourises its real-life subject


The Wee Man
Based on the memoirs of Glasgow gangland figure Paul Ferris, this chronicle of a bloody underworld feud runs from the early 1970s, when a young Ferris and his friends are menaced by the ruthless Welsh family, to the 80s, when Ferris is married and expecting a child, but still engaging in increasingly high-stakes tit-for-tat attacks with his old nemeses. Oh, and getting into the odd sticky situation while working as a debt collector for a notorious crime boss.

The film makes impressive work of its shifts through time, with diligent production design and authentically heinous 70s and 80s fashions and interiors creating a highly persuasive physical environment. It starts well, with exceptional work from child actor Daniel Kerr as the young Ferris and Denis Lawson as the father who tries to guide him into the understanding that their world has real-life 'monsters' in it. However, the tale of Ferris’ ensuing adult struggle against these bad elements is told with scant recourse to subtlety, and with a partiality that leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth. While the crimes of the Welshes – which escalate from dog abuse to child rape to old lady murder – are shored up relentlessly enough for us to conclude that they are indeed as close as people come to being the fairytale monsters of Ferris Sr’s construction, Paul himself as played by Martin Compston is persistently painted as a good guy in a bad situation, and his eye-for-an-eye approach to justice as simply the only route available.

It’s of course the filmmakers’ prerogative to paint Ferris’s life story as they choose, and the performers here all share a commitment to their work that elevates the whole – but the script’s struggle to flatter its unprepossessing vigilante protagonist (he’s prone to coming out with poetic self-justifying speeches, too) is unconvincing, if not arguably irresponsible.
Selected release from Fri 18 Jan.

Trailer and poster for 'The Wee Man'


A new trailer and poster have been released for Martin Compston’s next film, The Wee Man, based on the life of notorious Glasgow gangster, Paul Ferris.
The film follows Paul (Compston) as he grows up an ordinary young kid in the notorious area of Blackhill, Glasgow and the journey through his teenage years to manhood.
The story begins in the sixties. At the age of just eleven, Paul has already learned that life on the street is tough. Everybody knows his place. Poverty breeds corruption, crime, violence and bullying. The film charts the way in which Paul was bullied as a child, and whose road to crime came as a reaction against the monsters of his youth.

The Wee Man trailer offers glimpse of Martin Compston as Paul Ferris

New film The Wee Man is based on the well documented life story of reformed Glaswegian gangster Paul Ferris – and its first released trailer reveals more about what audiences can expect from the gritty true-life tale.

With a Scottish cast led by Martin Compston (The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, Sweet Sixteen), the film features John Hannah (The Mummy Trilogy, Four Weddings And A Funeral, Spartacus), Denis Lawson (Perfect Sense, Star Wars Trilogy), Lorna Mcmonagle (Lip Service), Clare Grogan (Gregory's Girl) and Stephen McCole (Neds).

The Wee Man follows Paul (Compston) growing up as an ordinary young kid with hardworking parents in Blackhill, Glasgow, and follows the journey through his teenage years to manhood. The film has been produced by Carnaby International Productions (Rise Of The Footsoldier, A Lonely Place To Die).
The plot description is as follows: “The story begins in the sixties. At the age of just eleven, Paul has already learned that life on the street is tough. Everybody knows his place. Poverty breeds corruption, crime, violence and bullying. Blackhill was the most notorious area of all.

“The film charts the way in which Paul was bullied as a child, and whose road to crime came as a reaction against the monsters of his youth. Paul worked for feared gangland boss Arthur Thompson Snr (Patrick Bergin) and rose to power in Glasgow's murky underworld in the late 80s and early 90s. In 1991 he was charged with the murder of Arthur 'Fat Boy' Thompson Jr (Stephen McCole), son of Arthur.
“Ferris sparked a furore when he was given a hero's reception outside the High Court and walked free after a not-proven verdict, following one of Scotland's longest murder trials. He was jailed for gun-running in 1998, and on his release in 2002 turned his back on his former gangster life and vowed to go straight, determined to teach others how to avoid a life of crime.”

Martin Compston: 'Sister' review, Commonwealth Games ambassador profile


Review: 'Sister'
'Sister' tells the story of a 12-year-old thief who steals from wealthy patrons of a ski resort, has a healthy seam of mischief to cut through the social commentary, writes Tim Robey

4 out of 5 stars 
15 cert, 97 min
Dir: Ursual Meier; starring: Kacey Mottet Klein, Léa Seydoux, Gillian Anderson, Martin Compston.
Sister is a switch of name for the lovely new film by Swiss director Ursula Meier (Home), whose original French title, L’Enfant d’en haut, translates roughly as “The Kid From Up Above”. Said kid is Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein), a 12-year-old kleptomaniac who earns his crust stealing equipment from an Alpine ski resort.
The implications of “en haut” aren’t just topographical but also ones of class. The wealthy types up there, Simon claims, can’t care overly about their purloined stuff, because they instantly pay to replace it. We needn’t agree, of course: Meier withholds judgment, merely filling us in bit by bit on the hard-knock life Simon has been forced to live.
Taking the cable-car back down the mountain to where he stays with his broke, promiscuous and generally bedraggled sister Louise (Léa Seydoux), Simon is very much the breadwinner, selling stolen gloves and shades to other local kids for pocket money and trying to get the best price on the high-end skis he’s also managed to waddle off with.
The milieu provides a built-in disguise: wearing wraparound googles and head-to-toe outdoorwear, he’s a miniature Raffles in polyester. He cajoles his way in everywhere, and we needn’t trust the story he tells about the death of his parents in a car crash, but he’s also a bright spark, hard to dislike, and hugely vulnerable beneath it all.
In a year set to be studded with great child acting – think Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) – it would be a mistake to neglect Klein, who’s a marvel of puckish naturalism throughout this. Seydoux, too, does capable work as a scrounging sexpot in tight jeans, building a boisterous but fraught relationship with her co-star that keeps revealing unexpected layers. It perhaps sounds a little like a Dardennes brothers film – last year’s The Kid with a Bike comes readily to mind. But it outshines that one, because a healthy seam of mischief helps cut through the occasionally rote social comment. Meier, working with the great French cinematographer Agnès Godard (Beau Travail), finds a lonely quality in the thin mountain air, a climate that thrill-seekers inhale and evacuate to leave this invisible boy behind, converting their blessings into his loot.

Martin's profile at Carnaby Films
Carnaby Films - Martin-Compston 
Commonwealth Games Ambassador by Carnaby Films
The actor Martin Compston has played a diverse range of characters in his time, but his latest role is something quite unlike anything he has done before. Compston, whom Carnaby Films say hails from Greenock, will be seen on television screens all over the country in the upcoming weeks, in the first advertisement for the Commonwealth Games, to be held in Glasgow in 2014. Compston has been appointed as an ambassador for the Games although he has admitted that the offer took him by surprise.
According to Carnaby Films, Compston initially believed the offer to be a ‘wind-up’ but when he eventually realised it was genuine, was delighted and accepted it immediately. Having seen this summer, the transformative effect the Olympic Games had on London, Compston is said to be very excited about the upcoming Games in Glasgow. He remarked that the entire city of London had been given a ‘real lift’ during the Olympics and the Paralympics, and he hoped that the Commonwealth Games would have a similarly positive effect on Glasgow. It is set to be a world class event, with Mo Farah, Rebecca Adlington and Tom Daley participating.
Compston has seen some great success in front of the camera in recent years, Carnaby Films explain, particularly with Line of Duty, a police drama by the BBC. He is currently in the midst of filming a drama for ITV called The Ice Cream girls, which tells the tale of two women, who are accused of having murdered a school teacher when they were younger. Compston will also be starring with James McAvoy in Filth, a film adaption of the famous book by Irvine Welsh.
His next project is a role in The Wee Man, a film by the production company Carnaby Films, which tells the story of Paul Ferris, a gangster from Glasgow, and is due to be released in 2013. The film has already caused controversy, with some critics arguing that the way in which the characters are portrayed idealises the criminal underbelly of the city. Compston commented that he found the amount of interest in the film quite surprising, adding that he hoped that it would live up to the audience’s expectations.

Martin Compston: 'The Wee Man' release date



The Wee Man: Paul Ferris film set for cinema release in January

A hard-hitting feature film about the life of Glasgow gangland figure Paul Ferris is set to get a cinema release.

The Wee Man, which has a star-studded cast, will get a world première in Glasgow in January shortly before it hits screens nationwide.

Martin Compston, who shot to fame as a teenager in the Ken Loach drama Sweet Sixteen, has landed the key role of Ferris. John Hannah will play Ferris’s nemesis, Tam McGraw, in the film, which has been made and is being distributed by London-based Carnaby International.

The film, scheduled for release on January 13, was famously shot in London due to problems securing permission to film in Ferris’s home city from Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police.

It has been directed by Ray Burdis, who also made The Krays movie, with other stars including Star Wars actor Denis Lawson, Comfort and Joy’s Clare Grogan, and Stephen McCole, one of the stars of Neds.

The film charts the life of Ferris from his childhood in 1960s Glasgow and his rise through what the film-makers describe as the city’s “murky underworld.”

A spokeswoman for Carnaby International said: “The Wee Man follows Paul growing up an ordinary young kid with decent, hardworking parents in the notorious area of Blackhill, Glasgow and the journey through his teenage years to manhood.

“The story begins in the sixties. At the age of just 11, Paul has already learned that life on the street is tough. Everybody knows his place. Poverty breeds corruption, crime, violence and bullying.”

Ferris was famously cleared of murdering Arthur “Fat Boy” Thompson in 1992 after a jury delivered a not-proven verdict, but was later jailed after being found guilty of gun-running.

The film is based on the autobiography of Ferris, written after his release from jail in 2002.
