This is the protagonist in our opening sequence - the infamous "Poppy Killer". He is an ex-soldier; having served in the Iraq War, where he was stranded by his battalion and had to fight his way out of the war zone alone. On returning back home, he makes it his mission to track down those who betrayed him, and seek his revenge...We have decided to leave his name unknown, possibly throughout the whole film, but definitely in the opening sequence to emphasise his mystery. He will be referred to as The Poppy Killer, in the news broadcasting and in the newspapers. This is the only information that people know about this murderer as after killing his victims, he leaves a poppy by their side (a signifier of death and related to war.)We thought that Ben would play the role of him well because on the surface our character needs to represent a normal man but on the inside lays his dark secret.
This photo shows that this character will be wearing a green shirt over a white top which resembles the sort of clothing worn by soldiers whilst off-duty. His dog tags are a reminder of the war he was in and he is wearing a poppy in honour of those who were killed, and those who will be killed...
