Wild Mountain Thyme: Jamie Dornan and Emily Blunt address those accents  

It's rare for a trailer to cause such a stir, and now that the film is opening in Ireland at last, the leads in the Irish-set romance talk about their trepidations 

Jamie Dornan and Emily Blunt in Wild Mountain Thyme.

Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan play neighbouring farmers in romantic turmoil in Wild Mountain Thyme, an old-school romance set in the west of Ireland. Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley and adapted from his own stage play, Outside Mullingar, it tells the story of Rosemary Muldoon, a feisty young woman who is in love with neighbouring farmer Anthony, who seems to be oblivious to her charms.

Rarely has a movie caused such debate based on a trailer, but the first teaser for Wild Mountain Thyme caused quite a stir on Irish social media, with the public making fun of its characterisations of Irish people, eccentric-looking storyline and the accents of its lead actors. The full film is released to stream here from Friday, April 30.
