That's nothing.

You should have seen when Brookside went to Dublin.

Or watching Kevin Costner gad about England

Everything he did, he did it for you.

Everything he did, he did it for you.

Though he overstayed on his visa by sixteen weeks

I never realised they did. I'd so watch that

I remember when Eastenders did some episodes in Ireland and it was the most cringe thing ever.

Yeah, in terms of awfulness, EE wins. The Brookside crew failed on location reality, but otherwise reasonably acceptable.

 

[Yossarian]

Was he in the first as well or just the second? Must have seen the sequel if it was only the second that he was on but cannot remember any French action

Only the second one, first one starred Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Robert Carlyle was very much the actor of the moment a while back. Haven’t seen him for a wee while.

 

[neonwilderness]

Cillian Murphy

Is that him in the trailer at 1:48?

I thought this too!

Did they get the Titanic over from Liverpool and visit Stormont to kiss the Blarney stone on the Giant’s Causeway before a car bomb kills half the cast?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Trailer just released.

This is one brilliant trailer, that audio is really tense and quite disturbing.

 

[spitfire]

Looks proper scary, I managed the other 2 but i am NOT good with zombie movies, Give me nightmares. I'll see how the reviews look.

The Graun review linked to this, worth a listen! I'd never heard it before today. We didn't do Kipling at school. Mostly Irish poets.

Suppose i’m the complete opposite & find zombie flicks unbelievable guff tbh.

Are the first two really worth a watch?

Not if you don't like zombies.

The first one is brilliantly done, though. Regardless of the genre.

There were plenty of arguments on here at the time of the first film about whether they were actually zombies.

Short answer - they definitely are.

The first one is an excellent film in so many ways

I am fairly sure they're actually actors.

If a rip-off of Day of the Triffids.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm a bit gutted that I didn't get to in this film. I got a casting call to be a zombie (I assume) but it was all shot up north and you would really have to be local.
They wanted marathon runners who were on the extras books. . . presumably not because they wanted the zombies to run a marathon but, they did want extras from all walks of life to run backwards and forwards all day without getting puffed out.

It is. Thought that when I saw it at the pictures (the waking up in the hospital alone with no idea what's been happening, walking through the deserted streets etc) and Garland admitted it 'inspired' his screenplay.

 

[a_chap]

In case you really like hearing "Boots"...

 

[Silas Loom]

Indeed. And the three protagonists play along with Ecclestone and his troops before doing a runner, much as Josella, Bill and Susan do with Torrance’s crew at the end of TDOTT.

Did you answer your own post?

I was clarifying as someone laughed at my initial assertion.

The entire plot is the same:

Spoiler: The plot

Man wakes up in hospital having missed apocalyptic events. He heads out into a deserted London wondering wtf is going on. He meets the love interest and has a close escape from the infected/triffids that have overrun the place. They meet up with other survivors but realise that staying in London isn’t an option. They head for a safe place in the country. Get there – no good. Head off and find another safe place with fences and shit to keep them safe. Oh yeah, now they’ve picked up a kid. But men with guns threaten them. He lets the infected/triffids in to take care of the men with guns and they make their escape. Finish on note of hope.

 

[tommers]

I watched the first one last night. Might do the second one tonight. It was good. Does the classic thing of "actually we're the real monsters". Love that. And Jim going full on Rambo at the end is done well.

 

[tommers]

That trailer looks mad. I liked Civil War, looking forward to this.

How did you watch it? I can’t find it streaming anywhere.

I know a lovely geek who's hobby is to run a server full of downloaded TV and films.

I'm sure you could get a torrent if you wanted to.

I never did work out torrenting….I’d rather just buy the DVD Thanks though!
