Movies today are all doom and gloom. If it’s not another unasked sequel, it’s a prequel tearing down beloved characters. How about something nice for a change, like this trailer for The Spin.
Don’t you just love the Irish accent? I will admit, I like the look of this; it’s just a feel-good movie.
The Spin stars Tara Lynne O’Neill, Brenock O’Connor, Owen Colgan, Maura Higgins, Kimberly Wyatt, and Lead O’Rourke. Michael Head directs, with Colin Brodick and Mark McCausland writing. The story is:
Two music-loving but unlikely friends have two days to travel the length of Ireland to save their record store from closure. For one of them, not having a car is just one of the problems.
The rest is from the press release. This sweet and uplifting Irish road movie from filmmaker Michael Head (Bermondsey Tales: Fall of the Roman Empire) packs in the laughs as it follows Dermot (Brenock O’Connor) and Elvis (Owen Colgan), two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord, Sadie (Derry Girls’ Tara Lynne O’Neill), who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price. If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl and save the shop.
With just two days to get there, the pair head off in a rusty Vauxhall as old as the hills. As they navigate their beautiful journey, they meet locals and make new friends along the way.
A Buddy Comedy
A fun and off-the-wall buddy movie, The Spin is based on a semi-autobiographical short story by Omagh music star Mark McCausland (The Lost Brothers, The Basement, McKowski). McCausland also provides the film’s beautiful folk soundtrack.
Alongside O’Connor, Colgan and O’Neill, The Spin also stars Pussycat Dolls’ Kimberley Wyatt as well as Maura Higgins (formerly Love Island & I’m A Celeb), who makes her feature-length acting debut. The film also includes cameos from Irish music royalty, Barry Devlin (Horslips) and Steve Wickham (The Waterboys).
The Spin will be in UK and Irish cinemas on the 27th of Feb, and I have asked for a screener.
