The trailer for Director:Wagner de Assis NOSSO LAR

Source QuietEarth
I'll openly admit I dont follow a religion and when I was young I was brought up as a cathloic. To me after oil religion is the biggest culprit for the problem in todays society worldwide, I hate when people try and force religion down your throat and get told by rightwing nobodies that my religion is wrong we are better than you. I appreciate religion has its positives but people who want religion should find it own there own terms.
Nosso Lar is one person's vision of an area in the afterlife that spiritually you can go to after death. The story does follow one man doctor André Luiz on his journey from death to afterlife and his discovery of Nosso Lar which is an city. Been from Brazil it may have a catholic inspiration to it (Brazil is an predominately catholic country) so it may upset some of those right wing conservatives outthere. This does look fascinating  but religion is an  sensatitive issue and people will say "the afterlife isn't like this" how do you know, have you died? And its this issue that upset me when people critised Peter Jackson's vision in The Lovely Bones, with religious nuts coming out saying afterlife isnt like this. Whatever you think 20th Century fox like this so I'll expect a remake a few years down the line.
Just respect religion and embrace the knowledge that there is so many religions out there and every one has their own visions & views which will not be the same as yours and never criticise anything you dont like and not to expect criticism back.
The movie is directed by Wagner de Assis  and the film is based on the works of Xico Xavier with the movie coming out September 3rd in Brazil

When your last movie was about a upcoming student whom looses their memory and becomes a masked wrestler what would your next movie be? That is the quest Norihiro Koizumi must have asked himself.

When Gachi Boy came out a few years ago it became an instant hit in and around the international festival scene and Koizumi gained an reputation of creating movies completely different from what people may call 'normal'. Well for his new flick Flowers he has created an movie which is the absolute opposite from Gachi Boy with an drama which has elements of period in it with following 6 women  over 3 generations. There will be the trademarks of an Koizumi movie in it but what we can say is Norihiro Koizumi is one of the best character movie directors in Japan.

Here's the movies first teaser trailer:

teaser 2 for Blades of Blood (a.k.a Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds)

No comments:


source Twitchfilm
Not that long ago I gave you the first trailer for Lee Jun-ik's Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds, well below is trailer 2 for the movie with its new shorter name Blades of Blood.
The new name of the movie is virtually a exact translation of original Korean name, I think it may have alot to do with the Western Market. If you did see this movie advertised you may aitomatically assume it's more a love story rather historical war drama.
Apart from the movies name you may automatically assume this is an rip-off of the classic Japanese Zaoitichi series due to the fact the movies main protaginist is blind, actually there's no connection the story comes from a Korean manga comicbook though I would count out some inspiration from the Japanese story.
Like'em or loathe'm the Asian movie industry know how to do an epic historical battle with great ease, check out the new extended teaser trailer (no.2).

THE ROMANTIC - an Tim Burton/Edgar Allan Poe inspired animation

No comments:



source QuietEarth
If Tim Burton met Edgar Allan Poe down a dark alley and decide to create a animation THE ROMANTIC would be there outcome. The movie is directed (and written) by Michael Heneghan and if you happening to be in Boston today or on Tuesday you can check out the world premier of this at the Boston Underground Film Festival.
 Read the Synopsis and check out the trailer below;
The curious citizens that inhabit the wondrous land of Vauxhull believe the universe to be governed by four gods. There’s Po, the flirtatious and free spirited Goddess of Love; Pik, the macabre Lord of Hate; and Pjorrc, the God of Time, who diabolically plots over the earth from his clockwork fortress on the moon.



Lastly, there is Obble-Dee-Puh Puh, the God of All Gods and Creator of All Things. The shrouded king who sits comfortably upon a throne of ascendancy, controlling the destinies of all living things. Men live their lives whilst the gods provide them with the means to make them extraordinary. And there is balance.


But within this mythological world of autumn landscapes and peculiar creatures, a heartbroken young Romantic swears a vicious oath to free the human race from the omnipotent control of the otherworldly gods. Blaming the divine forces for the loss of a past love, Romance embarks on a vengeful showdown with the Holy Host. Along the way he befriends Patience, a crackpot alcoholic who fulfills the role of mentor to Romance’s hero. Together the two traverse the lands, romancing women and hunting the divine.


But the Gods have their own agendas, and some are more willing to part with their lives than others. As the romance enfolds, a macramé of horri c causality materializes, tying the major players together in a net of family relationships and betrayal. Elsewhere, a monstrous religious zealot by the name of Fat Daddy manipulates the human race into following his royal son and their conservative manifesto entitled The Poetic End. As Romance and Patience’s journey continues, it becomes more and more evident that the world is changing and there are forces both human and divine that will stop at nothing to determine the shape that this new world will embrace.

Alice &the White Hair Short - Wyatt Dennys vision of the classic Lewis Carroll story

No comments:

source QuietEarth
If you are like myself very dissappointed on the recent Tim Burton version of Alice In Wonderland maybe this will cheer you up, well for the adults. Wyatt Denny has created a independent short where The Mad Hatter and co have been replaced sex,drugs and Russian Roulette in Alice & The White Hair.
Alice is now a callgirl and walkouts of clubs with guys who look like something out of a marylin manson video, The tea party is now a crazy game of Russian Roulette!!! This is an stylish, contemporary modern twist to the classic Lewis Carroll story, come to think of it the original was a bit of a strange affair as well!!!
Visually this is good stuff plenty of eye candy plus full of up to date effects which dont overstate the movie but just blend in nicely. This movie is 15 minutes long and does suit the style of this adaptation, so enjoy!!!

Trailer for Australian Noir THE SQUARE

No comments:
Source TwitchFilm
Australian Cinema has always had a decent reception in UK over the past decade or two. If you switch on UK television you'll find 1 in 3 soaps are Australian and more recently on Scottish television we've had Underbelly a violentish crime drama. But when it comes to America it's not as great though that could change with THE SQUARE.
The Square is an stylish crime drama about Raymond a man tangled up in a love affair with Carla, a beautiful but troubled woman. She tests Raymond's moral limits when she brings him the cash earnings from her husbands latest crime dealings. They have once chance to go it alone, take the money and run...
The movie has been directed by stunt man Nash Edgerton, brother of Joel who is in the soon to be released awesome Animal Kingdom as well playing the Kurt Russell role in THE THING prequel.
This movie played at last years London Australian Film festival but there's been no theatrical release (or maybe we blinked and missed it), but American movie fans can see the movie on a limited release on April 9th with a possibly full release in May. Canadian movie fans will see a theatrical release on April 16th.

Trailer for Brazillian sci-fi Short ANALOG

ANALOG trailer from Ebbëto on Vimeo.


source QuietEarth
Above is the trailer for sci-fi short ANALOG created by Brazilian director Ebbeto.

The short movie is the second movie from this director and the short is currently doing the rounds at the film festivals and is getting some fantastic feedback. The movie can only be described visually as a minimalistic metropolis meets 1984 with a bit of Tron thrown in for good measure.

Analog is a film that  tells the tale of a machine travelling in deep-space which has as a primary function the preservation of a living organism: a man. Strange events with biblical analogies begin, disturbing the machine and making it rethink it's priorities.

I have a funny feeling it played Glasgow Film Festival last month and if it did ill go crazy, this just looks stunning. I tried to see if the full short was online but my search was unsucessfull.

First Look at LEGACY, Starring Idris Elba (The Wire)

No comments:
source TwitchFilm
Been an ex-graphic design univerity student despite not been working in that industry I still have the eye for powerful graphics and it was the posters for LEGACY (like one on left) that attracted me to what the movie was all about.
The movie was directed by Nigerian born London raised director Thomas Ikimi, so roll on February's Glasgow International Film Festival and the press launch and Thomas was there to promote his new movie and to announce Glasgow was to be the movies world premiere and closing movie. I tried in vein even with my press pass to get ticket for it along with opening movie Micmacs and I was left dissappointed.
Several people have asked me why did he picked Glasgow Film Fest not Tribeca, Sundance or even Edinburgh for his movies premiere? Simple the movie studio that back and created his movie was Black Camel from Glasgow so what better way to thank them and have it premiered in Glasgow.So whose in it and whats it all about?
The movie stars The Wire's Idris Elba as an Black Ops Operative whocomes back home after an failed mission in Eastern Europe. He's stuck in a Brooklyn motel torn apart from retribution and Salvation and as things close in on him it may only be the story is all he can leave behind.
Do you the amount of people who actually believe Idris Elba is American, well he's not ,born and bred in London just simply down to the amount of American based movies and television he has done in the past, so when I had to tell my American friends who are massive Fans of The Wire he's British they were shocked! The other thing that may surprise you is that the setting for the movie isn't actually Brooklyn its Glasgow, Scotland!!! Thomas Ikimi studied Film in New York and spent 6 years of his life in the metropolis and was able to adapt.
The movie also stars The Wire's Eamon Walker, Monique Gabriela Curnen and Richard Brake. There's No release date yet but expect a release sometime this year possibly summertime.

source QuietEarth
Here's the trailer for R a Danish prison drama directed by Tobias Lindholm.

Majority of prison movies are like Romcoms, you can figure out the story and it'll have a predictable ending. The prison in this movie is meant to be the toughest in Denmark and looks more like a summer camp !

If you do want to see this its out April 22nd in Denmark.

synopsis:The prisoner R arrives to Denmark’s toughest prison, where he is to serve a sentence for violent assault. R is reduced to a number, a letter, just another inmate. The prison is a parallel world filled with rules, honor, and debts. A world,in which bars cover the windows and blood stains the floor. R is placed in the most hardcore ward. Here he must find his place in the system, learn to navigate, and fight for survival.

When you know the reason a person breakdown emotionally and mentally and in this movie a high school teacher played by Takako Matsu you'll understand. Her young Daughter is brutally murdered it is always common for a parent to seek revenge on the killers and when you  expect its 2 of your own students, plan b goes into action. Just before she resigns from her post as a teacher she informs her class her chilling confession and she has already tarted her plot for revenge. Her confession brings to light other confessions from students which leads upto a shocking twist at the end.
The movie is been released in Japan by TOHO and will be in the cinemas from June 5th.




Trailer for Luc Besson's Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec movie

No comments:
source SlashFilm
The first full trailer for Luc Besson's Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec  has been embedded below thanks to Yahoo France via Slashfilm.

We've been following the progress of this movie as best as I can and I have to say this trailer is fantastic.The impressive looking trailer is based on the Jacques Tardi comicbooks which where and still are very popular in France, Belgium and other Benleux countries, so yes even the non hollywood movie market are recreating comicbooks for the big screen.

SYNOPSIS:(Source Twitchfilm)The year is 1912. Adèle Blanc-Sec, an intrepid young reporter, will go to any lengths to achieve her aims, including sailing to Egypt to tackle mummies of all shapes and sizes.

Meanwhile, in Paris, it's panic stations! A 136 million-year old pterodactyl egg on a shelf in the natural history museum has mysteriously hatched, and the bird subjects the city to a reign of terror from the skies. But nothing fazes Adèle Blanc-Sec, whose adventures reveal many more extraordinary surprises...
Set in the carefree world before World War I, Adèle Blanc-Sec's adventures see the brave young woman fearlessly battling crooks, corrupt politicians, demon worshipers and mad scientists. Legendary cartoonist Jacques Tardi's original stories perfectly recreate the intrigue, romance and excitement of one of the most tumultuous periods in history.
Adapted and directed by Luc Besson (Arthur and the Minimoys, The Fifth Element, The Professional), Adèle's exhilarating, funny and fabulous adventures will be one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2010
 If this movie is given half a chance it could do very well outside France but then again theres sadly too many people lazy to read subtitles so they would have to destroy the movie with a watered down hollywood OTT poor version.


The movie is due to be released in France on APRIL 14TH but if your in Brussels, Belgium on April 9th you can ctach it at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival

Brilliant Love is an unusal romance type movie directed by Ashley Horner  and it's good to be different be a romance movie but think outside the box when it comes to traditional elements of a movie genre and in this case romance. Manchester(Liam Browne) and Noon (Nancy Trotter) have a long summer relationship but  what if your a photographer would youcreating pictures artistically from cheap nasty cameras?

The movie will be shown at this years Tribeca Festival and a possible April release in UK so check out the synopsis and trailer below:

When a wealthy gentleman called Franny discovers Manchester and launches his photography on the art world, the success destroys the beauty of their once idyllic life

When you think about certain stars who where big names at one point making good movies as well as poor movies then suddenly they disappear off the face of the earth and suddenly years later you have your own blog and you post a trailer for ACCIDENTS HAPPEN and in it is Geena Davis. In the 1980's she was in alot of big movies including the jeff goldbloum remake of The Fly, Cutthroat Island, Thelma and Louise all Blockbuster movie of the time and she sort of disappeared of the face of the earth. Obivously she did alot of tv work including Commander in Chief and alot Ive never heard of probably because they where never shown in UK!
Accidents Happened first appeared at the 2009 Tribec Festival and hasnt been seen since and its a very dark comedy but also serious movie, a family torn apart by tragedy and only come together when accidents happen but not for support just to crack up and then go awol again. I ask one question how many people do you know have been electricuted whilst washing the dishes? watch the trailer!

Imdb synopsis:There are dysfunctional families... and then there are the Conways. After a family tragedy, 15-year-old Billy Conway has become the de facto glue between his bitter mom, distant brother, and stoic dad. But when Billy starts to act out, everything changes for him and his family

Wake is an new pyschological  horror/thriller from the director Chad Feehan whom a few years ago brought us All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. The movie had its world premiere in Austin,Texas at the SXSW Festival and has been getting alot of attention from the Horror Fraternity.

This Shinning inspired movie stars Josh Stewart (The Ghost Whisperer), Jamie Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) as the movies leads, Pyschological, dark, twisted are a few words to describe this movie, a movie as it doesnt really sit nicely in one genre but taking it does dissect a persons morality.

I think we will be hearing a bit more from this movie in the near future, check out the trailer below:

IMBD synopsis:Driving to a wedding in Los Angeles through the Mojave Desert, Paul and Adrienne pull off the highway and into Roy's Motel and Cafe. This roadside artifact proves to be a strange and surreal place with an unsettling mix of travelers, who force our couple to discover the secret hidden between them and ultimately, the horrifying reality of their current situation.

Well if you watched the Oscars last week you would have seen the Animation Short LOGORAMA , won the Oscar award for best animated short.

Created by François Alaux and Hervé de Crécy the story follows the police chasing an armed criminal through a Los Angeles created out of animated Coperate Logos. Reading and listening to the aftermath of the duo winning the oscar it was a bit of an shock for some, but living outside USA we seem to see and here about movies, shorts for the first time on the awards night or post awards night so at times it doesn't seem much a fuss. As for who some wanted or expected to win I dont really know.

So below is the winning animation in full, so what do you think was it worthy of its oscar or is some of this talk just talk? post your views below.

Vahalla Rising: Mads Mikklesen interview

source Screenrush

When it comes to epic movies and ones of historical/mythical content we only seem to cover those of Christian relevence but never any of pre-christian socities. Vahalla Rising  is an movie created by Bronson  director Nicolas Winding Refn  and stars Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Clash Of The Titans) as One Eye a mute warrior held captive by Norse Viking warriors and he escapes slaying his captors and he goes on a quest to find his trueself.
This movie is set in Viking times and was created with virtually no money usung visually stunning scenery and strong story writing as it basis. The movie is slow but also very deep and times brutal when the action kicks in. Screenrush recently caught up with Mads and had a chat about getting down and dirty in his upcoming viking epic.

The release date is not 100% confirmed but I believe Vahalla Rising will get a limited UK/Irish release this Friday (19th).

In the middle of a gasoline embargo and finding himself in a strange predicament, Nuno tries desparately to sell his machine, obsessing for the success that would help him get the things he wants out of life.

Trailer for Dutch Drama GREAT KILLS ROAD

No comments:
source QuietEarth

Great Kills Road  tells the story of a mans journey to find his ex-wife and his metally handicapped son. He must go to New York City to search for her  and the film shows an foreigner trying to cope with the sheer scale of New York metropolis and this I can relate to. Coming from Scotland the largest city in my country is Glasgow (1.5 million) and I have worked and travelled many times overseas and last summer I travelled to China to Guangzhou a medium sized city for the country and it was 12.5 million, 3 times biger in the whole population of Scotland!!! Its even daunting at times even going to London (which I have to go to in 2 weeks), its the small fish in a big pond!
Great Kills Road is an intimate Family drama and at times feels like a documentary but the trailer below does show that but eventually the trailer does shift gears into a intriguing piece of work. The movie has been a big popular movie when it networked the Dutch Film festivals receiving very positive views, like the source of this post I have tried to get more information on the movie but have been unable to.
Great Kills Road is directed by Tjebbo Penning, check out the trailer below:

Argentina are a country reknowned for creating many crime thriller movies by the dozen, its like the countries filmakers where born to make these movies and below is an exceptional movie called Cano Dorado (The Golden Gun).
Many Argentian thrillers seem to be very slow paced, stylish ala arthouse but Cano Dorado  directed by Eduardo Pinto is very much different, raw in your face and full of energy very refreshing for the country's movie industry and I would have no quarrels of watching this, great stuff.

Here's the movie's synopsis which was posted on TwitchFilm:


This is the story of Panceta, a young laborer from one of the poorer suburbs in Greater Buenos Aires. He lives with his mother, a widow, who greatly misses her husband, as does Panceta his father. Panceta's life is focused on his work: he's taken over his fathers forge, as well as working at a pipe factory. But his ambitions to make money have made him turn to manufacturing home-made guns and selling them in the outlying districts. Inexperienced and unaware of the danger, he is challenged by the local mafia.



One night when delivering his guns he meets Clara, a young girl working at the local community hall. They fall in love and decide to run away, going off in a freeing boat trip along the river. A man in love becomes an easy prey for his enemies, especially for Tacom, a powerful local mafia boss.


What had begun as a game turns grey and ever darker - the consequences are tragic and tormenting.

It was the movie name that caught my attention LIKE THE MOON ESCAPING FROM THE CLOUDS by Korean director Jun-IK Lee. The movie is an martial arts drama and when you do see the poster as well as the trailer you will automatically will think of Zaitochi as the main protaganist in the movie is a blindman with a sword. There will be some inspiration from the Japanese story but according this trailers source the inspiration comes from a Korean Manwha a type of Korean comicstrip/manga.
Martial arts movies do have a international appeal and Jun Ik Lee wants to get more recognition for his work outside Asia and with this he has a good chance of soing so. He has already had a financial success with Wang-ui namja (The King And The Clown) now he wants worldwide recognition.

With the release of Clash Of The Titans only a few weeks away where we'll see Gemma Arterton in action but a few weeks later on April 30th Gemma will be appearance in a lesser known movie called The Dissappearance Of Alice Creed.
The movies sees Arterton as Alice a daughter of an millionaire who is kidnapped and held to ransom by 2 men played by the excellent Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes, Heartless) and Martin Compston (Sweet Sixteen, Damn United). At first Alice is terrified of her captor ex-cons Vic & Danny but realisation kicks in and she knows she has to fightback in order to survive.
This little UK indie thriller is full of  more twists and turns than the Amalfi Drive in Italy but what we do like about this movie is Eddie Marsan playing a sadistic evil vilian. The Disappearance of Alice Creed will be out in UK & Ireland on April 30th  and check out the UK trailer and a clip below...

Official site

Offical synopsis:  Two men - one in his twenties, the other nearer forty, both intensely focused on the task at hand - line the inside of a transit van with plastic. Shopping, they buy a drill, a mattress and other supplies. In a small flat they assemble a bed for the mattress and staple foam insulation and board to the walls and windows of a bedroom. Then, their meticulous preparations complete, they kidnap a young woman. They drag her from the street into the back of the van and, with a bag over her head and ball gag in her mouth, take her back to the flat, tying her to the bed in the room they have converted into a prison cell.

The kidnappers are Danny (Martin Compston) and Vic (Eddie Marsan), two ex-cons planning to make a mint on the ransom for the young woman. The younger, nervier of the two, Danny defers to the more experienced Vic, who acts with a steely conviction. Their hostage is Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a rich businessman, chosen by Vic and Danny as their passport to a better life. Terrified and immobile at first, it soon becomes clear that Alice isn't about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight. As determined to escape as Vic and Danny are to succeed, Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to breaking point, with Vic and Danny's foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival.

A taut, emotionally intense thriller, the debut feature from writer-director J Blakeson eschews genre convention, generating tension from the sexual and psychological ties that bind captive to captors. Produced by Adrian Sturges (The Escapist), the film stars Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia), Eddie Marsan (Happy Go Lucky, Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Compston (Sweet Sixteen, Red Road).

Trying to get information for this was very hard, it was easier to get blood from a stone, anyway Below is the theatrical trailer for Thai epic historical movie Bang Bajan 2.
The first movie came out nearly 10 years ago in December 2000 and was about a true story about a Thai Village despite been out numbered sucessfully held off an foreign invasion, this is brutal, violent and movie 2 has the 'qaulities' of movie also had. If this movie was released  a few months later it may have got more international recognition as Ong Bak was released and gained international success well its now ten years on hopefully it will get the sucess an overseas fanbase it deserves.

THE POSSESSION OF DAVID O'REILLY Trailer

No comments:
source TrailerAddict
Away back in November just after the release of Paranormal Activity in UK it was expected to be the usual barrelload of rip-off movies  but there wasn't. However a short teaser trailer for what has now been regarded as the British answer to Paranormal Activity it's  The Possession of David O'Reilly.
I didnt take much notice of the teaser away back in the winter simply because it was only 30 seconds long and nothing really happened until the last 3 or 4 seconds but we have a full on trailer which you can watch below.
 The movie is of lower budget but dont let that put you off this movie as it does look like it has been put together very well, and it does deliver by just feeding us with little snippets of scary moments. Looking at it's imdb page it doesnt give much of a synopsis apart from a

a terrifying supernatural shockumentary about a demonic presence in a young couple's home in London

Looking at the trailer which is creepy, jumpy and alot of WTF Was that moments that do keep you gripped to the story suggesting there's a lot more that meets the eye here. What I do like is that we do get glimpses of the demons that attack the victims rather than invisable demonic forces which can only scare you so much onscreen

The movie is in post production and was directed by Andrew Cull  as for who's in it it stars Giles Anderson (Damn United, Colin Todd) and a cast of unknown actors/actress but Paranormal didnt have known stars in it and look what happend to that!!!

The movie is in post production, as for when its released there's no date yet or even if its a cinema or dvd release.

Freddy Krueger aka Ribert Englund got a bit of a Mole Problem

There's loads low budget movies out there some disguise themselves as comedies and just crap to put it mildly but you do get the ocasional cracker that is actually funny and I think we can say THE MOLEMAN OF BELMOUNT MOVIE is one those that falls into the category of a small budget funny movie.
It might be a small budget but it has a big name is horror movies, the original Freddy Kreuger aka the iconic Robert Englund in its cast!!! Reading the source post the movies cast and crew have come from the comedy scene in Chicago so comedy parts should come naturally to them, so whats it all about?

Marion and Jarmon Mugg have never had to work very hard.  They’ve never had much responsibility, and no one has ever put any expectations on them to perform or achieve, well… anything.
But two years ago their mother died, leaving them the brownstone apartment building that has been in the family since its days as a speakeasy during Prohibition.  In that short time, their slacker ways have run the building into the ground.  The tenants are moving out, no one but them and their friends drinks at the bar on the ground floor, and the building’s pets are going missing.  If all that isn’t enough to make them sit up and take notice, there’s also a good chance that a monster is living in the basement.
“The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue” is a horror/ comedy that explores what happens when a terrible situation is dropped into the laps of the two people least equipped to deal with it.  The Brothers Mugg can either step up to the plate and finally grow up, or they can wait and clean up the mess as a mysterious creature eats every living thing in the building, one by one. - Offical website Synopsis

If you follow my mainstream movie blog The Peoples Movies I posted a trailer for THE TROTSKY, a comedy drama starring Jay Baruchel  as a college student Leon who believes he is the reincarnation of Russian idioligist Leon Trotsky and after having a hunger strike at his father's Papa Clothing Factory. As punishment Leon is sent to the public school and brings a whole new meaning to the student union and his opportunity to live out his destiny and change the world.
When I posted the first trailer the movie dodnt have a distributor and was basically doing the rounds at 2009 film festivals and was getting decent reviews. Alliance Films have picked up the rights and the movie is due to be released in Canada on May 14 but there's no UK or Irish release but theres a good chance of a limited release  possibly late this year.

Check out the trailer below:
