The cast also includes Amber Heard, Jim Sturgess, Theo James, Jason Isaacs, Cara Delevingne, Obi Abili, and Jaimie Alexander.

[5] After the producers reached a settlement with Cullen in a separate lawsuit, London Fields was released theatrically in the United States on 26 October 2018, and was a critical and commercial failure.

After going to Mark's flat, Keith takes him to a pub called the Black Cross where he meets Guy Clinch, the current head of his family's business empire, who is trapped in a loveless marriage with his wife Hope.

Clinch has a disturbed son, who tries to destroy everything he can get his hands on, although he tries to be a good man, and is not crude unlike Keith, but for some reason is his friend.

Keith keeps borrowing money from Guy to pay off all the loan sharks he owes, including darts rival Chick Purchase.

Samson finds photos in one of Mark's books showing his affair with Nicola, on Guy Fawkes Night.

[citation needed] David Cronenberg was approached in 2001 to do a film adaptation of the book, and Amis wrote a draft of the script.

The critics' consensus reads, "London Fields bungles its beloved source material and an intriguingly eclectic cast, leaving audiences with a would-be neo-noir of interest only to the morbidly curious.

"[36] According to Metacritic, which reports a weighted average score of 16 out of 100 based on 12 critics, the film received "overwhelming dislike".

[37] Peter Sobczynski of RogerEbert.com gave the film 0.5/4 and described it as a "boring and garish mess that even fans of the book will find nearly impossible to follow.

"[38] Jeannette Catsoulis from The New York Times called it "horrendous" and "a trashy, tortured misfire from beginning to end".

[39] Andrew Barker of Variety wrote: "Despite lush photography and a cast attractive enough to lure curious distributors, this misbegotten mess risks suffering the same fate at the box office that befalls its heroine on her dead-end street, but Cullen genuinely deserves credit for making it this far — sometimes you have to try to adapt a seemingly unadaptable book just to learn how truly unadaptable it is.
