Righting Wrongs: Outlawed (2018)

Outlawed is a 2018 British thriller about a Royal Marine who uses his deadly skills to oppose a corrupt out-of-control politician who killed his friend's father.  It stars Adam Collins who also co-directed it along with Luke Radford.  When the film first came out in 2018 the early-birds made clips of a party scene which was declared to prominently feature Emmeline Kellie who was one of the film's actresses.  The scene begins with a close-up of the camera following a naked woman into a room in which her face is afterwards seen in a continuous shot.  The actress in question did look feasibly like Emmeline Kellie so the given identification didn't seem to be an issue.

However when I actually watched the film recently that identification became problematic when viewed in context.  Emmeline Kellie's character was the girlfriend of the main character Jake O'Neill (Adam Collins) and not a casino hostess/hooker as the woman in the clip turned out to be.  As a result of losing his job and then catching his girlfriend Victoria (Emmeline Kellie) in bed with another man, Jake takes a downward spiral.  He visits a casino and gambles away his severance pay and there he meets the woman in question who takes him off to a private party where the clipped sequence happens.  But if one is following the story, it makes no sense for that woman to be Victoria.  Although in the party scene itself no words were spoken, the woman does have dialogue in the preceding casino scene where she picks Jake up and so it seemed likely she would be credited.  In fact the film credits even non-speaking extras so doubly likely.

Fortunately the end credits are in appearance order so it was easy enough to pinpoint the position where she should sit.  One credit in that area seemed a bit odd - Yasmine Hope Wilmore as "Archibald Assassin" - this seemed possibly to be a crediting error at first because no assassins were seen in that part of the film.  However much later on this same woman appears again and turns out to be on politician Archibald's staff as a would-be killer so the odd credit is ultimately vindicated although perhaps not as clear as it could have been.

Upon checking online for any comparison images of Yasmine Hope Wilmore she turned out to be the woman from the clip.  She actually spells her surname "Willmore" and is a UK model. She has a Facebook page and in a 2017 post she published some fashion model images in which her look is the same as the casino woman.  And to make it beyond doubt she also posted some behind-the-scenes photos of herself while filming the casino scene with Adam Collins.  She calls the film "Heart of Chaos" which was its original title.

So the woman in the party scene is not Emmeline Kellie as widely reported, but Yasmine Willmore.

Here is a cap of the Casino Woman which matches the above behind-the-scenes shots:-


And this is Emmeline Kellie as she appears in the film:-.


So another of those cases where an initially incorrectly made identification has perpetuated.


See these earlier posts for other cases I've reported on:-

The Cleopatras - bonus material

The Cleopatras was an 8-part historical drama set in ancient Egypt concentrating on a line of royals bearing the name of Cleopatra. 

It began on 19th January 1983 and was shown on BBC2.  It has never been repeated or released on video or DVD.  The series can be seen on YouTube however.

Were there ever to be an official DVD release here are a couple of supplementary items that might be extras.

1) Wogan's Guide to the BBC
This was a BBC1 special in which Terry Wogan took a tour of the BBC.
It was broadcast on 29th August 1982 at 21:25.

One feature was about The Cleopatras, which was then in production but not yet broadcast.  It included backstage dressing room footage of some of the handmaidens having their makeup applied.

The red haired actress looks like Sherel Keller from episode 1.



The other I have not been able to spot from the series in any featured or background capacity.

NOTE: Wogan's Guide to the BBC 1982 is on YouTube.



2) BBC Christmas Tape 1982: Flash Frames
Christmas Tapes were unofficial in-house productions prepared by broadcasting engineers for the entertainment of staff.
The 1982 BBC tape included some outtakes from The Cleopatras.  The scene featured was the one where Pauline Moran was being attacked on the floor by King Alexander The Younger from episode 4.  It includes off-camera studio instructions telling the King to expose her breast more (for continuity purposes) and a lot of giggling from her.  None of this camera angle was used in the finished episode.
