Blackbird - Michael Flatley's midlife crisis project

[JohnC]

Having made vast fortunes off Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, Michael Flatley self-financed, wrote, directed and stars in Blackbird. I suppose with that much money, the midlife crisis motorbike doesn't cut it. It's some sort of spy thriller, which also stars Eric Roberts and Patrick Bergin, who are proven to be willing to appear in any old shite, though sometimes are the best things in them. Well, as good an excuse as any to dress up and drive an E-Type around the Caribbean.

 

Quote

Troubled secret agent ‘Blackbird’ abruptly retires from service and opens a luxurious nightclub in the Caribbean to escape the dark shadows of his past. An old flame arrives and reignites love in his life but she brings danger with her.

I hope he somehow incorporates his Riverdance skills in this blatant bond rip off.

Maybe in a dance off... To the DEATH.

"Blackbird, your arms are tied to your side and they stole your shoes! How are you going to get through that corridor covered in red hot coals?"

fuckin yass

 

 

he should have done this a while ago, all the ladies who were creaming their knickers at him in the 90s are dead by now, or at least not buying straight to dvd movies

Sounds like Swallow.

 

Partridge should sue.

I was just thinking, Steve Coogan should steal this idea for Partridge.

Please tell me the woman in the poster isn't Flatley's 'old flame'..

My mate Luke was the DOP on this. Apparently they're already prepping the sequel. Which is set in Hong Kong.

 

It's the new franchise we didn't know we needed

Patrick Bergin's looking daintier these days.

[JPickford]

This might do well.  Who doesn't want to see it?

[Liamness]

Normal people who don't watch films ironically.

Someone's being a bit mischievous on IMDb:

Michael Flatley is famed for his dancing feet, a lesser known skill he has is wandering hands

 

Michael Flatley plays the character of Victor Brackley, in reality his name is actually Hector Stackley

This looks amazing! Please let it be real.
