"TV star Kevin Bishop zips onto the big screen today in jet black Brit comedy May I Kill U?. The film, directed by Stuart Urban, centres on Baz, a bicycle-riding police officer who wages war on crooks in the capital after taking a knock to the head. Newcomer Hayley-Marie Axe, Jack Doolan and Frances Barber (as Baz&amp;#039;s viciously cruel mother) are among the supporting cast for the film, a dark cocktail of vigilantism, serial killing and social media. Digital Spy sat down with Bishop and Urban to find out more about their grisly comedy. On the film&amp;#039;s title and researching psychopaths... Stuart: &amp;quot;I just imagined what if people appeared to agree to be killed? Could that be some kind of surreal situation as it appears on the internet in the film, or is it just the killer&amp;#039;s deluded mind?&amp;quot; Kevin: &amp;quot;[Killers] have a weird code of morals. They believe what they&amp;#039;re doing is right. There&amp;#039;s always a type of person they kill. Baz starts out trying to rid the streets of scum. Then, being his own judge and jury, you realise very quickly that the legal system is there for a reason. No matter how strong your beliefs are you will be wrong, Baz has this conflict with an elderly lady in the film. He gets completely out of control.&amp;quot;  Kevin on learning to ride a bike during rush hour... &amp;quot;I was taken out on some cycling proficiency lessons with Alan Jay (producer), and he took me out around Victoria Station. He was quite stern actually, he told me off a few times because I didn&amp;#039;t obey the lights. I broke a few rules. &amp;#039;You must pull out of the front of the cars and be seen,&amp;#039; he told me. &amp;#039;If you are not seen you will be killed!&amp;#039; He was really telling me off!&amp;quot; Stuart on vigilante movies and the London riots... &amp;quot;I had seen quite a few of them, but what we didn&amp;#039;t have is many in Britain, apart from the po-faced Michael Caine one Harry Brown. It wasn&amp;#039;t a bad film but it was absolutely straight down the line what you expect. The vigilantism aspect increased in the script around the time of the London riots. When the riots happened and we had a good catalyst for the story then I moved that up the agenda a bit. It was always a key part.&amp;quot; Kevin on Frances Barber&amp;#039;s hands-on approach to Kevin... &amp;quot;We were filming the bath scene and I&amp;#039;d worn my pants. She said to me, &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t be ridiculous, take your pants off!&amp;#039; I said, &amp;#039;Why do you want me to take my pants off? Nobody can see.&amp;#039; &amp;#039;Oh, take them off,&amp;#039; she said. She was becoming this mother character. We did have a really good laugh. That wasn&amp;#039;t in the script, it was Frances&amp;#039;s idea at the last minute and Stuart decided to do it.&amp;quot;      Kevin on his relationship with social media... &amp;quot;I used to be very free with my Twitter comments. It&amp;#039;s very hard to imagine 5,000 people staring at you when you say something, which is effectively what you get when you go on Twitter. I once said a negative comment about someone on X Factor and I had trolls after me. It got to the point where I thought, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m not comfortable with this.&amp;#039; I made a flippant comment which was meant to be funny but I was getting some serious hate because they cared so much.&amp;quot; Stuart on reviews and the competition... &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s already had some good comments, some bad comments. I met a filmmaker who said that anyone who makes a film deserves a medal or an award anyway. It&amp;#039;s nice to have it out. It&amp;#039;s great to see it out but I&amp;#039;m not expecting it to please everyone. It&amp;#039;s a very edgy film. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re taking on Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables. Kevin sings a lot better than Russell Crowe!&amp;quot; May I Kill U? is showing in UK cinemas now. Photo gallery - 15 memorable movie vigilantes:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
