Telling the story of the night the Irish government decided to guarantee the entire domestic banking system, The Guarantee hits Irish cinemas next week, and Wildcard Distribution have released the first clip from the film, featuring Brian Lenihan (David Murray) fielding some hard questions from the press. It could be the music, it could be how it's shot, it could be Murray's acting, it could be all three, but there is a bucket load of tension in this very simple scene that has me really excited to see the finished product. The Guarantee hits our screens on October 30th, launching with a live Q&A and panel discussion from Movies@Dundrum, hosted by broadcaster Matt Cooper, that will be broadcast live to numerous cinemas across the country, allowing audiences to interact with the panel through a special live Twitter feed projected to each cinema.

New feature film The Guarantee, produced by John Kelleher Media in association with TV3, the Irish Film Board and the Bai is currently shooting in Dublin this week. Wildcard Distribution will bring the feature to Irish cinemas this autumn with a broadcast on TV3 scheduled for November. Directed by Ian Power (The Runway), the feature film recreates the drama surrounding the most significant political decision in modern Irish history when the Irish government decided to guarantee the entire domestic banking system. It’s the first time the story has been told on the big screen and charts the origins of that pivotal decision (four years before that fateful night), and follows developments through the peak of the boom to the beginning of the bust. As much as we’d like it too, it probably won’t feature a bunch of politicians and bankers being fed to a pride of starving lions.
