Investment Opportunity Investment opportunity RacerRacer A love story. An obsession. Racer. A love story. An obsession Racer is a heart stopping original screenplay by Oscar nominee and Bafta winning writer Ronan Blaney. A feature film inspired by the early life of legendary motorcycle racing star, Joey Dunlop. Joey, from Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, was at the height of his sporting prowess from the dramatic and politically charged 1970s right through to his death in 2000, winning the world renowned Isle of Man TT Races a record breaking, and not yet beaten, 26 times. Our film portrays the early life of a conflicted and quiet man who remained true to himself whilst allowing his enormous skill as a racer and his track record to do the talking. Racer Ali MacPhail Note from the Producer Racer has the dual commercial power of being a thrilling sports movie and an original love story. This film will show the strength of the family bond and how extraordinarily conflicted a character can become. How can Joey leave his wife and babies at home and immerse himself in this lethal sport? Joey witnessed first his friend and then even closer to home, his brother-in-law, being killed in horrific crashes in road racing but yet still couldn’t give up the most dangerous motor sport of all. The racers ride at speeds of up to 190 miles per hour on country roads with nothing but lamp posts, trees and dry-stone dykes for natural crash barriers. At the beginning of the TT Race, the riders pass through the middle of a council estate – a bizarre setting for a world-famous race – and a detail which many people will be unaware. We’ll capture the excitement these racers feel when they’re riding at high speed, the tussle for position, the cat and mouse of their contest, the physicality and strength demanded. The is the story of one man’s obsession with a sport which will ultimately kill him. We expect this feature to attract a 20+ male/female audience domestically and internationally. With interest in Joey Dunlop’s career undimmed over the years and his extraordinarily loyal fan base due to his phenomenal race record, we naturally expect the audience to be male skewed. However, the love story element, the pure sexiness of racing, the humanity of these lives and loves will also help lock-in the female demographic.

Racer Note from the director John Matthews John Racer is Rush meets The Fighter and Drive, with Northern Soul, The Goob and Dark River sprinkled over the top. Style Hand held camera, vérité in style, it will look and feel authentic, the camera moving around dynamically, very much based on personal experience self-shooting racers. Contrasting lighting will bring dark, gloomy low-lit garage shots, Joey’s cigarette glowing in the darkness. The colour palette will be the blue and green saturation of the 70’s, with those lovely drudge browns. The racing shots will be full of jeopardy, the bike looking like it’s about to fall to pieces in similar vein to Grand Prix. Music and sound will be phenomenal, high pitched engine noises, a rider being dragged 180 miles per hour down tarmac, gravel ripping leathers and skin, the terrible thuds and screeching tyres. The tender moments, Joey and his love affair, delicate in between the mayhem, will be complemented with classical piano harmonies, glam rock playing on the radio in the background. In the 1970’s Punk Rock flourished in Belfast; rebel sounds against the violence of ‘The Troubles’.

  • Ex-Machina and the Feminine Body Through Human and Posthuman Dystopia
    Elisabetta Di MINICO Ex-Machina and the Feminine Body through Human and Posthuman Dystopia Abstract: Ex-Machina is a 2015 sci-fi thriller, written and directed by Alex Garland, and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. Critically acclaimed, the movie explores the relations between human and posthuman, as well as the relations between men and women. The article analyzes four main themes: the dystopian spaces of relations and conflicts between human and posthuman entities; the gender issues and the violent tendencies represented both in humans and in AIs; the construction and the representation of women’s bodies, roles, identities and images; the control and the manipulation perpetrated by “authoritarian” individuals on feminine bodies. The goal of my contribution is to show the reasons of the “double male fear of technology and of woman” (Huyssen 226), and I hope that my reflections could encourage a debate on posthumanism and on gendered power relations.

Wonderful Films, Indomitable Entertainment, and Windowseat Entertainment are the production companies. Kevin Tent, the Oscar-nominated editor on Alexander Payne’s”The Descendants” and “Nebraska” is making his directorial debut with a Black List script by Jeremy Catalino. Gleeson stars as a hopeless romantic who thinks he’s found true love with an older woman, played by Applegate — only to learn that she’s married and that his fling is merely an instrument of revenge against her neglectful husband, played by Church. He threatens to blackmail her by telling her husband but his plan backfires when the husband decides the best way to get back at his wife is to move in with Gleeson’s character and adopt the slacker’s life of debauchery. Payne, who directed Haden Church in “Sideways,” is executive producing. Producers are William Horberg of Wonderful Films and Lauren Bratman. Besides Payne, the other exec producers are Dominic Ianno, Jon Ferro and Stuart Pollok of Indomitable Entertainment, Joseph McKelheer and Bill Kiely of Windowseat Entertainment, and Vicki Sotheran of Sodona Entertainment.
