With John Niven

Lauren is joined by author and screenwriter John Niven, who talks about his upcoming film Kill Your Friends.

Lauren is joined by author and screenwriter, John Niven ahead of the cinematic release of Kill Your Friends.

Released this Friday, the dark, twisted events of Kill Your Friends take place against a backdrop of Britpop in the 90s. Nicholas Hoult stars as a menacing A&R man, slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where 'no one knows anything' and where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public - "Yeah, those animals". John Niven adapted his own 2008 novel for this sharp, funny, allegory of the music industry.
