The Riddle

Modern, supernatural thriller with a Dickensian twist.

The Riddle was shot on location in London in 2006 for release in 2007. Brendan Foley wrote, produced and directed the $5m feature with Grosvenor Park Productions.
The story is a smart contemporary mystery thriller with a supernatural Dickensian twist, about a London sports reporter (Vinnie Jones), who investigates a series of murders that follow the discovery of an unpublished Dickens novel in a Thames-side pub. It also stars Derek Jacobi, Vanessa Redgrave, Julie Cox, Jason Flemyng, PH Moriarty and Mel Smith.
The script was a prize-winner in the Final Draft International and Australian International competitions, and a silver medalist in the Archer Prize.
