Kill Your Friends
Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) is Steven Stelfox, an A&R man in the London music industry who is lying and backstabbing his way to the top – powered by drugs, sex, alcohol and his own greed. When Stelfox’s career faces a slump, he is forced to kick his ruthless work ethic up a notch.
Based on the novel by John Niven, who drew upon his brief music industry career, during which he passed on the opportunity to sign both Coldplay and Muse.
