09/01/10 Red Riding US domestic promotion 2010...
Following festival success Stateside, arriving in US theaters next month is The Red Riding Trilogy.
IFC (the US distributor) has given Vulture [of nymag.com] first look at the poster and they premiered the above image on their site today.
The poster is, like the trilogy clearly both striking and severe. Despite looking a bit too much like an alternate (or rather generic) design for something like Angels and Demons, it would get our attention if we didn’t already know anything about the films.
Considering that the trailer has to represent three films, it gets the core idea across really well. It's much slicker and sexier than the UK version. See for yourself HERE.
See extended US trailers for each of the three films at www.ifcfilms.com.
Enjoy our film America! But remember. Evil Lives Here.
02/11/09/ Paddy boards Richard Ayoade's 'Submarine'...
Paddy, [Our favourite leading lady] Sally Hawkins (Happy-go-lucky) and Noah Taylor (Shine, Vanilla Sky) will all be starring in the comedy; Submarine, which is being brought to the screen by Brit comedy god Richard Ayoade.
Adapted from Joe Dunthorne's novel, Submarine finds teenaged Oliver Tate (newcomer Craig Roberts) attempting to woo classmate Jordana Bevan (Yasmin Page).
Ayoade, of course, is probably best known for his work as super geek; Moss on The IT Crowd and for co-creating, directing and co-starring (as Dean Lerner) in the awesome Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and his work on The Mighty Boosh and Nathan Barley.
The acting talent he's gathered is impressive, and frankly, we're very excited to see what he can do with a real budget and a cinematic outlet. The film is shooting even as you read this.
Billed as a coming of age comedy, The film is set in Swansea and details the story of 15-year-old Oliver Tate who is living through his parents' marriage breakup and his first love. Paddy will play a self-help guru who runs courses on Mental and Physical Wellbeing.
The movie production team include Mark Herbert (Dea Man's Shoes, Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee) under the Warp FIlms production banner and Red Hour Films' Executive producer Ben Stiller [Yes that Ben Stiller!].
The film began shooting in Swansea on Monday for seven weeks.

Here we'll include stuff we hear. However, there are no guarantees to the accuracy of the information...
if rumors are to be believed Shane Meadows is in talks with Paddy to star in his This Is England TV spin-off series for Channel 4.
The award-winning director is currently writing a sequel to his 2006 film called We Were Faces.
This Is England starred 13-year-old Thomas Turgoose as a loner called Shaun who is taken in by a group of skinheads.
Shane told The Sun newspaper: "I'm trying to talk Paddy into playing one of the new characters that comes into it.
...The show will be four one hour shows set in 1986 and viewers will find out what happened next for the characters.
...Stephen Graham will make a return as Combo in one of the later episodes.
...I'm really excited about the new series, which will start filming next year."
These rumours were furthur fueled by recent comments from Paddy on George Lamb's BBC Radio 6 show who said: he'd "really love to work with...Stephen Graham at some time in the future."
Meadows co-wrote the 4 60-minute drama serial with Jack Thorne (The Scouting Book for Boys, Skins), with filming scheduled to begin next spring.
Following unexpected popularity of Shane & Paddy's MockDoc; 'Le Donk & Scorzayzee' rumours have been circulating the web with regards to a follow up Donk film.
These rumours were fueled by recent comments from Shane Meadows in Empire magazine who said: "Yeah, the big news is that we’re already thinking about doing another Le Donk. It’ll be another ‘Le Donk And...’, something completely not music based. We’ve come up with a few ideas, and we might just go straight back and do another one, because we had such a laugh doing this one. Not like a sequel in terms of trying to be like the other one, but he’s got his missus and his kid’s a bit older, and a whole different set of events. So maybe before I do this next big film, might just go out, grab five days somewhere and knock another out so we can come back (to Edinburgh) next yearSo it’ll be something like Le Donk & The Tomb Of The Cursed Fanny,”and we’ll stress that title was right off the top of his head.
According to Screendaily website, Warp Films’ new project Submarine, a comedy written and directed by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd),is currently in pre-production.
Based on Joe Dunthorne’s debut novel, it is the coming-of-age story of 15-year-old Oliver Tate who is on a quest to lose his virginity to a pyromaniac bully and to stop his mother leaving his father for her capoeira teacher.
Casting for the film is currently under way, with Michael Sheen (The Damned United, The Queen) and Paddy both rumored to be confirmed.
Submarine will benefit from the creative input of Ben Stiller through Warp Films’ alliance with Red Hour Films.
According to a recent interview, Paddy's next project may be an adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' bestseller "Birdsong". His involvement with the project was announced by British director Rupert Wyatt who revealed some of the cast on comingsoon.net, which will include Michael Fassbender from 300 and Steve McQueen's drama Hunger, and Brian Cox, the star of The Bourne Supremacy and Identity, Xmen and Manhunter who should be appearing in the film as a tough army colonel.
Wyatt told a little about the general plot for the film: "It's a very well known book in the UK. It's a big bestseller about 10, 15 years ago, but it's set during World War I. I supposed you could relate it to 'The English Patient' albeit of a different period, but it has a similar structure in terms of it deals with different timelines. It's about a man whose heart is broken during a love affair with this married woman who ultimately ends up experiencing the horrors of the first World War."
The plan is to start shooting in August 2009.
Watch this space. According to recent interviews, Paddy and Shane Meadows next project may be the boxing epic 'King of the Gypsies' based on the life of Gypsy Bare-knuckle boxing champion; Bartley Gorman. Gorman (now sadly deceased) was the inspiration for Morell's unusual accent in 'A Room for Romeo Brass'
This project has been Paddy and Shane's dream project for many years. (In the same way that 'Raging Bull' was that of De niro and Scorsese)
In the light of This Is England's box office success and predicted DVD sales, it appears that Shane may now have access to all the financial backing he needs to do the story justice.
Both Shane and Paddy have stated recently that they begin work on a script for the film this Autumn/Winter (2007).
Watch this space.
According to varied sources, Paddy may have a future project in line with BAFTA award winning writer, teacher and martial arts master and former hard-man Geoff Thompson. Thompson penned the successful short film 'Bouncer' starring Ray Winstone and Paddy (which was nominated for a BAFTA in the 2003 awards). And 'Clubbed' 2009.
Geoff Thompson has written 30 published books and was on the Sunday Times Best-Seller list with his autobiographical book 'Watch My Back'. According to his official site Thompson has Paddy in his sights to take the lead in 'The Death of Christine James' about the violent breakdown of a marriage , optioned by Dreamfinder Productions with Michael Baig-Clifford (Bouncer) attached to direct.
In response to this Paddy states: "Geoff's an amazing talent and I know we will work together. It's just a matter of when. I love 'The Death of Christine James' and fully wish to do the project
Following the Festival success of Paddy's directorial debut, the short film 'Dog Altogether' Paddy is working on the script for another short film about a prize fighting boxer provisionally titled 'Journey Man'.
Selected films that Paddy was attached to but which never became reality'.The Water Horse', 'Then She found me' ,'The Watchmen' 'Once upon a Time in the Midlands'...
