The trailer for A Bunch of Amateurs. Starring Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds, A Bunch of Amateurs tells the story of an ageing action hero desperate to revive his flagging career on the British stage and features a distinguished cast, including Academy Award nominee Imelda Staunton, multi award-winning star of stage, screen and television Sir Derek Jacobi CBE and Samantha Bond. Jefferson Steel (Burt Reynolds) is an ageing Hollywood action hero. He s vain, insecure and out of work. Under pressure from his client, Jefferson s incompetent LA agent is forced to go through his trash, in a final attempt to find Jefferson work, and stumbles upon the perfect role: a prestige run playing King Lear at Stratford-upon-Avon. Jefferson believes he has landed the role of a lifetime; arriving in the UK to discover that instead of a leading role in a Royal Shakespeare Company production at Stratford-upon-Avon, he is booked to tread the boards with an amateur dramatic society in the sleepy English village Stratford St John, Suffolk. A clash of cultures with comic complications ensues in this funny and ultimately moving comedy.
