Damian Lewis's The Baker released on Friday

In an unusual move, The Baker, a rom-com starring a hitman, is released at the cinemas on Friday and is then available on DVD from Monday.


Synopsis: Milo is a professional hit man living on the edge.

When failing to fulfil a contract for the first time, Milo escapes the city to avoid the wrath of his employers. Hiding out in a remote rural village, the locals mistake him for the new baker. However, Milo soon discovers that you can't always have your cake and eat it.

Starring the cream of British talent, including Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter) and Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead), The Baker is a killer comedy not to be missed…

There is a five minute Set Report video on the BBC Film Network site. All things Damian Lewis can be found at this informative website.
