source The Peoples Movies

Below is the first U.K trailer for HEARTLESS which has just been posted online Thanks to Lionsgate.

During 2009 especially summer period we heard alot about this Phillip Ridley movie especially from the director and the films main stars Jim Sturgess and Noel Clarke but never seen a trailer until now.
The movie is about a young man called Jamie who is born with a large heart shaped birthmark on his face. The birthmark effects Jamie pyshically as well as mentally and would do anything to get rid of it.He discovers that the gangs in the east part of London (where the film is based), many of its members are actually realife demons and he is tricked into doing a deal with the devil who grants him his wish and removes the marks. As usual do a deal with the devil there will always be setbacks.
As well Jim Sturgess & Noel Clarke, Eddie Marsan, Timothy Spall and Clémence Poésy also star. Heartless is going to get a very limited cinema release in U.K on May 21st for 3 days when on 24th it will be available on DVD. If you happen to be in Glasgow around 19th February you can catch it at the citys Film Festival (click here for deatils).
Its sad certain movies dont get the exposure they deserve with a decent run in the cinemas and only thanks to First Showing who were able to get the code that we can watch the trailer below as YAHOO UK dont seem to be bothered much about it.

Trailer for Irish post apocalyptic movie DITCHING

source QuietEarth

Below is the trailer for Northern Irish Arthouse drama called DITCHING. The movie is set in a post apocalyptic Northern Ireland where the Ulster is a dangerous fuedal and depopulated land, full of decaying towns with primative techonolgy. The people are confused and have also forgotten there troubled pasts and improvise ceremovies and games but still give no comfort to the world around them that makes them feel threatened but have no idea what awaits them at the end of the journey.
The movie was directed by an art collective from Belfast called Factotum and was their first venture into film making. Wasnt a high budget affair but still it is an noble first attempt and one Northern ireland 's independant cinema would be proud of.

Space Cadet time for ZONAD

Greeting Earthlings I am Zonad and here is my trailer. Zonad is a comedy from Ireland from John Carney who also co wrote it with his Brother Keiran. The movie follows a "alien" from a planet far far away in a glaxay far far away who visits a small Irish community of Ballymoran. His visit coincides with a recent  sighting of a rare comet which makes the localfolks very gulliable to think he really is a alien rather than Liam a recent rehab escapee.

This does look funny but some Irish people maybe a little offended as it does tend to make the Irish look stupid. It is lighthearted and it has been created by an Irishman so no blame can go on non-irish people, though I can understand been scottish we can be prone to the odd pisstake from non-scottish people. They just like to "sterotype" and think all people from certain countries all talk, look the same, after a while you just have to take it on the chin!

Zonad will be out in Irish cinemas from March.
