Ella Purnell and Nicholas Galitzine give their best aristocratic snarls in the first look from the “seductive” thriller “The Return of Stanley Atwell.”

Now in production in the U.K. and Malta, the film has also welcomed Damian Lewis to the cast, the “Band of Brothers” and “Homeland” star seen tux’d up and brooding from across a smoky bar in another new image.

“The Return of Stanley Atwell” comes from Hera Pictures, the BAFTA and Oscar-nominated banner behind recent awards season favorite “Hamnet,” and is co-produced with John Gore Studios.
