With over 43 aliases, 86 phone lines, 25 companies and over 1 million books sold, Howard Marks (aka "Mr. Nice") is one of, if not thee most, infamous British drug barons in crime history. As much of a cultural icon as a gangster, Howard Marks literally did it all. He promoted music, dabbled in nuclear physics, was a spy for the CIA and the MI6 at the same time and wrote books to boot. To quote The Daily Mail; "He sounds like Richard Burton, and looks like a Rolling Stone." Basically, he was the man.

Come 2010, the outrageous and surreal true story of Howard Marks will be told by director Bernard Rose in Mr. Nice. Starring a stellar cast including Rhys Ifans, Chloë Sevigny and, one of my personal favorites, David Thewlis, I expect that Mr. Nice will be like a British Blow.

After the break we've got the very first stills from the film featuring all the main cast in full swinging seventies garb. You Dig?

Why do you guys have cropped versions of the images?

There's a website named www.davidthewlis.net that had full versions of the last 3.
