Fast Girls is a 2012 British sports drama film directed by Regan Hall, and produced by Damian Jones. The film was written by Jay Basu, Roy Williams, and Noel Clarke, who also supporting role. The film stars Lenora Crichlow, Lily James, Bradley James, and Rupert Graves. The film follows the story of two women and their race and personal differences as they become professional sprinters and join the British relay team for a World Championship event. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2012.
It had originally been intended to base the athletics competition in the film on the 2012 Summer Olympics. Due to tight legal restrictions on the use of Olympic trademarks, the International Olympic Committee disallowed any reference to the Olympic Games in the film, and the script had to be re-written to make the competition a fictional one. Released a month before the 2012 Summer Olympics, Fast Girls had its world premiere in London on 7 June 2012 and was released eight days later in the United Kingdom. The film received positive reviews from critics and earned $1 million dollars at the worldwide box office.
