Off and Running

Writer-director Marian Quinn's 32A feature - starring brother Aidan, Ailish McCarthy, Orla Fitzgerald, Louise Kiely, Orla Brady and Jared Harris - gets under way on July 24, shooting in Dublin, Roscommon and Sligo. The coming-of-age tale of a 13-year-old Dublin girl marks Marian's directorial debut.

Galway Romance

Honeymoon in Galway, Irish director Robert Quinn's new feature, is set for shooting in September, based on the award-winning stage play set against the county's famous races.

Romantic Storm

Love seems to have been in the air during the making of Stormbreaker, the much-hyped teenage spy movie starring Alex Pettyfer. Dublin-born beauty Sarah Bolger, the 15-year-old co-star, confesses she and 16-year-old Alex had a "thing".

She says: "I had a massive crush and we shared a few kisses."
