In one of the more bizarre cinematic pairings, King of the Ants sees the writing talents of Charlie 'Fast Show' Higson combined with the directing talents of Stuart 'Re-Animator' Gordon. Higson wrote the screenplay based on his novel of the same name (his only novel) apparently using his own early decorating days as literary fodder. George 'Cheers »
