Paramount Ireland have provided us with the first preview images of Neil Jordan's 'Ondine', which stars Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda and Stephen Rea. The movie which is set in Ireland was filmed in Co. Cork.
Paramount also forwarded us the films synopsis and Neil Jordan's story of how the films production came about, which you can read below.
Official Synopsis: Ondine is a lyrical modern fairy tale that tells the story of Syracuse (Colin Farrell), an Irish fisherman whose life is transformed when he catches a beautiful and mysterious woman (Alicja Bachleda) in his nets. His daughter Annie (Alison Barry) comes to believe that the woman is a magical creature, while Syracuse falls helplessly in love.
However, like all fairy tales, enchantment and darkness go hand in hand. Written and directed by Neil Jordan - and shot against the Irish coast’s magical backdrop by cinematographer Christopher Doyle - ONDINE is a story of love, hope and the unwavering belief in the impossible. THE PRODUCTION STORY:
During the Writer's Strike a Hollywood project fell through - Heart Shaped Box. I went back to Ireland where I have a house in West Cork and wrote this fairy tale, which could shoot entirely within a radius of five miles from where I live. About a fisherman, who pulled up a living girl in his net. His disabled daughter, who invented stories about her. These stories feed on local legends - sea creatures, seal creatures, selkies. How they only have a certain time on land. How they fall in love with their rescuer. How they can make a wish come true. How the sea always calls them back.
Much of what the girl invents turns out to be true, but never in ways she expected. The whole thing develops into an impossibly romantic love story, in which real human beings insist on turning their lives into a fairy tale. Because reality is too hard, maybe. Because that is what we love to do, have to do, maybe…
The Daily Express are tipping Colin Farrell to replace Johnny Depp in Terry Gilliam's 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.' Farrell also recently stepped in as one of the actors to replace Heath Ledger in Gilliam’s latest film 'The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.'
'Terry is a fan of Colin and it’s felt he’s one of the few people capable of filling Johnny’s shoes,' a source told the Daily Express
Terry Gilliam has spoken about the difficulty of finishing The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus without Heath Ledger.
"It was madness, frankly, trying to rescue a film with Heath dying in the middle of it. But I think the sheer pressure of having to do something made us just go for it. You couldn't double-think anything, you just make some decisions, jump in and hope it worked.
"But shooting it after that point, I was never sure whether it would or wouldn't work. But I can actually say it works and it works brilliantly."
The movie, which stars Ledger, Christopher Plummer and Tom Waits, is about the leader of a travelling theatre troupe which takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations.
Production was suspended following Ledger's death, while Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to portray his character Tony in dream sequences.
Irish actors Colin Farrell and Saoirse Ronan are set to star in ‘The Way Back’, a World War II drama to be directed by Peter Weir (Master and Commander).

The film is based on the memoir by Slavomir Rawicz about a group of soldiers trying to escape from a Siberian labor camp during World War II. Ed Harris and Jim Sturgess are also set to star in the film which is due to begin production in March in Bulgaria.
