Dutch helmer Arne Toonen burst on to our radar here at ScreenAnarchy a few years back with the release of his 2012 feature Black Out. A hugely stylish crime caper, Black Out planted Toonen's flag as the sort of director with the visual chops to play with the Guy Ritchie's of the world. Which is absolutely true but what audiences outside of the Netherlands didn't realize was just how different this film was from Toonen's previous work, with his prior feature - 2010's Dik Trom - being a hugely successful children's film. And now? Now Toonen has combined his criminal and family urges with De Boskampi's.
The first trailer for this one has just arrived online and while the keen eyed among you will recognize familiar faces from Black Out and the New Kids films those coming in cold will still be plenty impressed by the strength of the visuals and style. Yeah, it's a family film but there's plenty to appeal to the older members of the family, too. Check out the trailer below.De Boskampi's is a feature film based on a successful children's book by Marjon Hoffman. In this story about underdogs and gangsters, Rik Boskamp and his dad are bullied by the kids in their neighbourhood. Rik wishes his dad was tougher so nobody would dare pick on them. Inspired by a mafia movie he sees on TV, Rik fantasizes about being the son of a mafia boss.
