Trailer for Ireland-filmed Blue Moon is released
The trailer for Blue Moon, the new film from director Richard Linklater, which was filmed in Ireland and stars Andrew Scott, Margaret Qualley, and Ethan Hawke, has been released. Written by Robert Kaplow (Me & Orson Welles) and produced in association with the Dublin-based Wild Atlantic Pictures, Blue Moon was filmed in Ireland last summer. The upcoming comedy-drama, which had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, follows the final days of Lorenz Hart (Hawke), part of the legendary American mid-twentieth-century songwriting duo Rodgers & Hart. The film is set primarily in Sardi's Restaurant in New York on 31 March, 1943 on the opening night of the musical Oklahoma!. This was a significant date, as it marked Rodgers's (Scott) first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II (Simon Delaney), who was Hart's replacement. The dense, lyrical script sees Hawke take centre stage for almost the entire 100-minute movie. Dublin actor Scott won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Berlin International Film Festival for his performance as Richard Rodgers.

Netflix fans say don't skip 'most underrated film' as it will 'change your life'
A movie buff has urged Netflix fans to check out the 'most underrated film of this decade' on the streaming platform – and people agree it's worth the two hours of screen time Netflix subscribers have been urged to check out the 'most underrated film of this decade' on the streaming platform - and people can't get enough of it. The film buff, who is known as @eccyreviews on social media, has shared the docudrama you need to check out on UK Netflix, claiming it to be one of the best things you'll see all year. In his TikTok clip, he said: "Netflix have just secretly added one of the most underrated films of this decade and you need to check it out immediately because it's actually based on a true story." Directed by Matt Johnson, the 2023 movie BlackBerry follows the story of the "meteoric rise and catastrophic demise of the world's first smartphone". The Netflix hit stars Jay Baruchel, Glenn Howerton and Matt Johnson and has earned itself 28 awards alongside 31 nominations - including Best Film at Berlin International Film Festival. The TikTok user added: "It shows how they built the company up, how cutthroat business is. "I remember everyone having a BlackBerry. I remember it being absolutely huge. "Glenn Howerton give a truly incredible performance, which is definitely worth checking out. If you're a fan of true stories like me, you'll definitely enjoy this film." Commenting on his post, one user said: "Classic movie, watched it yesterday." Another user added: "Giving this a go, cheers!" A third user said: "Was brilliant." Reviewing the movie on IMDb, one viewer said: "Watching these movies about the crazy cutthroat businesses of the 80s and 90s is very entertaining. "This movie was great, well acted, fast paced and fun throughout. I myself grew up during the time of the Blackberry but didn't know anything about their story, so this was a fascinating look into how crazy the tech world was at the time. "The real gem of the entire movie though was the Golden God himself, Glen Howerton. I've been a fan of Always Sunny and I'm always interested in what the cast does outside of that show. "I haven't seen Glen in a serious role yet but he delivered. In Always Sunny Glen plays a sociopath who is constantly getting angry, you could tell that in Blackberry he was able to use that for his character. Glen was by far the best part of this movie, funny and intimidating all at the same time." Another added: "I may be biased, but as a Canadian, the story of Blackberry isn't just one of the greatest business stories of all time, but a story about Canada. Really, Research in Motion and Blackberry represent what a lot of Canadians feel: we have great potential to do amazing things, but we need to be perfect, because the titan down south - the United States - will eat our lunch as soon as they're able to."

Thailand eyes B10bn from foreign film production
The Thai government expects 10 billion baht in full-year revenue from foreign film productions, deputy government spokesperson Sasikan Watthanachan said on Saturday. Data from the Department of Tourism's Thailand Film Office (TFO), covering Jan 1 to June 30, showed 279 foreign film projects shot in Thailand, generating 2.8 billion baht in production revenue. The figures were based on officially permitted projects, positively impacting the Thai film industry and tourism, Ms Sasikan said. The top countries filming in Thailand were India, South Korea, Japan and China, with popular locations including Bangkok, Pathum Thani and Chon Buri. The TFO estimates the total 2025 revenue will reach 10 billion baht, surpassing the initial goal of 7.5 billion baht. Ms Sasikan said the government continues to promote Thailand as a premiere filming destination. Measures include the 30% cash rebate, which the government is also considering extending. Recent films featuring Thailand include " Jurassic World: Rebirth," now in cinemas, and the science-fiction series " Alien: Earth," which will be available on Disney+ on Aug 13 this year. FX Networks recently dropped the second trailer of shot-in-Thailand 'Alien: Earth'. It features Bangkok landscapes, interior scenes and large sets built The Studio Park in Samut Prakan as well as natural beauty of Surat Thani, Krabi and Phang Nga. The government aims to boost its film industry's international profile further through film festivals and promotional campaigns at major industry events like the Cannes Film Market and Berlin International Film Festival.
