thehollywoodnews.com:

Joe Keery is known to the world as bully-turned-baby-sitter, Steve, in the hit Netflix series, Stranger Things. The show is currently in the process of filming its final season, but fans desperate for their next fix of the actor can currently find him starring in new movie Marmalade. Available now on digital platforms, Marmalade is a quirky crime noir thriller with an added helping of romance.

It is directed by Keir O’Donnell and finds the recently incarcerated Baron (Joe Keery) strike up a friendship with his cellmate, Otis (Aldis Hodge), a man with a well-versed history of prison breaks.

As the pair hatch an escape plan together, Baron recalls the story of how he met Marmalade (Camila Morrone), the love of his life, and their “Bonnie and Clyde” style scheme to rob a bank in order to care for his sick mother and give the couple the life they have always dreamed of.The role is very far removed from Stranger Things’ Steve, but Keery brings his own natural charm to Baron, making him an engaging character to spend a couple of hours with.

Having already spoken to Marmalade’s director, Keir O’Donnell, THN were thrilled to be offered a chance to speak with Joe Keery about this very special indie movie. Marmalade is one of those quirky films that is a little bit of everything, making it very hard to fully quantify it.
