Noel Clarke believes that the British film industry need to be more ambitious to make their movies more commercially appealing.

The actor and director, whose movie 4.3.2.1. was released last weeks, claims that he agrees with Ken Loach's comments that the Hollywood blockbuster dominates cinema screens in the U.K.

Speaking to Digital Spy the actor said: "I definitely agree with him [Ken Loach]. I'm not sick of them showing Hollywood films, they have to show them.

"They're the films that get big audiences but I think British films need to be put on the market as well.

"I guess the thing I think slightly differently to him is that you can't just make any old British film and expect to it to be alongside a Hollywood blockbuster. Cinemas at the end of the day have to make money.

"I think what my films have done so far is to try and do something a little bit different, that just makes them a bit more commercial.

"I think we can make films with ambition here, it's been proven. 28 Days Later was ambition. The Descent and Dog Soldiers were ambition."

4.3.2.1. is Clarke's first directorial effort since his critical and commercial success with Adulthood back in 2008.

4.3.2.1. is out now.
