'Vertigo Films was created in 2002 by producers Allan Niblo (producer of Human Traffic and South West 9), James Richardson (producer of Kiss Kiss (Bang Bang)), director Nick Love (screenwriter and, prior to company formation, director of Goodbye Charlie Bright and The Football Factory), distributor Rupert Preston (distributor of Chopper, Chasing Amy and Bride of Chucky, among others), and entrepreneur Rob Morgan. The company was formed for the express purpose of distributing and producing two films, The Football Factory and It's All Gone Pete Tong; its current stated goal is to produce and distribute four films per year.[1]

Vertigo is currently in the final stages of post-production for Streetdance 2, the sequel to box office success StreetDance 3D which was released on 21 May 2010.

Also in post-production is an English language remake of Nicolas Winding Refn’s film Pusher. Directed by Luis Prieto, lead cast include international super model and actress Agyness Deyn; Brit Richard Coyle; Bronson Webb, Neil Maskell and Paul Kaye
