Playing the older version of Roger Sharpe is character actor Dennis Boutsikaris, who recently had a recurring role in the series Better Call Saul. Joining him in the role of Ellen is Crystal Reed, who audiences will know from the Teen Wolf series. Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game stars West Side Story actor Mike Faist as the younger version of Roger Sharpe. As Roger begins a new relationship with a single mother named Ellen, he is approached by the Music and Amusement Association to help overturn the ban on pinball, leading to a standoff with government bureaucrats in City Hall. Writing for a certain burgeoning magazine called GQ, Sharpe is shocked to find that pinball has been illegal in New York City since the 1930s, when it was declared a form of gambling targeting children. A new such comedic biopic to be released this week is Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game (2023), a 1970s-set film in which a recently divorced and fantastically mustached writer named Roger Sharpe finds an unlikely obsession with the game of pinball. There are times, though, when humor is allowed to live and breathe in true-life stories that are larger than life in their subjects and stories. He served two terms as London mayor, from 2008 to 2016.īut critics say he lacks the gravitas of a true leader and some questioned whether he could deal with one of what is likely to be one of the most demanding premierships in recent years.Biopics can be stuffy affairs at times, with the genre often associated with Oscar bait pictures and period films in which “important” stories are told with the goal of inspiring its audience to emotional, teary-eyed excess. His embrace of a court jester role has won over many Britons, fed up of what they see as an out-of-touch political establishment too centred on a London elite.

Yet his sometimes shambolic appearance, self-deprecating persona and knack for humour have allowed him to survive both gaffes and scandal. In 2016, as one of the most recognisable faces of the Brexit campaign, Johnson was accused of making untenable claims, most notably that Britain would be 350 million pounds ($440 million) a week better off outside the EU. He and his wife announced last year they were to divorce and he is now in a relationship with the party’s 31-year-old ex-communications chief, Carrie Symonds. The EU said a no-deal Brexit would be a tragedy for both parties but reiterated that the withdrawal deal negotiated by May’s government was not up for negotiation.Īfter entering politics, he was dismissed from the Conservative Party’s policy team while in opposition for lying about an extramarital affair. Many investors and economists say that such an abrupt step would shake global markets and tip the world’s fifth largest economy into recession or even chaos. But if the bloc continues to refuse to renegotiate, he has promised to leave anyway - “do or die” - on the current agreed date of Oct.

Johnson has pledged to negotiate a new divorce deal with the EU to secure a smooth transition. The 2016 referendum showed a United Kingdom split over much more than the EU, and fuelled soul-searching about everything from regional secession and immigration to capitalism, the legacy of empire and what Britishness means in the modern world. Britain, in the middle of one of the most tumultuous moments in its modern history, will be now led by a flamboyant figure known for his ambition, untidy blond hair, flowery oratory and cursory command of policy detail.
