In 2023, the biopic genre is shining brightly with unique stories. We’ve already seen the unexpected approach to the Michael Jordan story in “Air,” the captivating tale of Tetris, and the critically acclaimed “Blackberry.” Now, Samuel Goldwyn Films is adding to this impressive lineup with “Bank of Dave,” and we are thrilled to share the trailer with you today.
Along with unveiling the trailer, Samuel Goldwyn Films has also announced the premiere date for “Bank of Dave” – August 25, just a couple of months away. The trailer introduces us to the ambitious real-life story of Dave Fishwick, portrayed by Rory Kinnear. Dave, a man with the means and potential clients, sets out to open a small bank in Lancashire. However, becoming part of the British elite is not easy, as no new bank licenses have been granted for over 150 years. Determined to challenge this status quo, Dave seeks the support of lawyers, doctors, and even rock legends to rally popular opinion.
Dave, Money, and Rock ‘n Roll
The involvement of rock legends in “Bank of Dave” is not just a story element. Real-life Dave partnered with Def Leppard to organize concerts and raise awareness among Burnley townsfolk, showcasing the family-oriented nature of his bank. The trailer also hints at the comedic tone of the movie, promising laughter at the absurd “rules” imposed by the elite.
“Bank of Dave” is directed by Chris Foggin, known for his work on “Kids in Love,” “Fisherman’s Friends,” and “This is Christmas.” The screenplay is written by Piers Ashworth, who collaborated with Foggin on “Fisherman’s Friends” and authored “The Loneliest Boy in the World” and St. Trinian’s.
In addition to Rory Kinnear, the cast of “Bank of Dave” includes Joel Fry, Jo Hartley, Phoebe Dynevor, Hugh Bonneville, and Paul Kaye.

Here’s the official synopsis of “Bank of Dave”:
Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear) sells vans in Burnley, Lancashire. Once the world’s most productive and profitable mill town, Burnley is now one of the most deprived and neglected towns in the UK. Dave, however, through a combination of hustle and hard work, has done well for himself – so well that in the wake of the last financial crisis he started lending money at reduced rates to his customers and local businesses. When some of those businesses start making money, they ask Dave to reinvest it for them. This gives Dave an idea. Why not set up a tiny local bank that uses local money to fund local enterprise? He will call it: The Bank of Dave. The elite, London based financial authorities, however, haven’t granted a new bank license for over 150 years, and they’re not keen to grant one to a van salesman from Burnley.
