At the Cannes press conference, a new method of distribution was mentioned. Loach is trying to buy the rights for his films in an attempt to allow a greater audience to watch the film. If Route Irish doesn't make it to major cinemas around the world, it will probably be made available legally for download.

Check Youtube for trailer.

Also somebody please tell IMDB they got the wrong John Bishop up.

I saw it tonight at the glasgow film festival. its very good. very brave, very ken loach. im not good at reviews though so i will say no more other than there was a Q&A with ken loach after the screening. He mentioned they were trying to get it shown on sky as a kind of event to bring it to the people whp maybe wouldnt see it at little independant cinemas. A very good idea i thought.

oh and john bishop, although a central role, dosnt have much screen time and is perfectly acceptable and believable. more than adequate.

Yup! Its the scouse comedian John Bishop. I was suprised when I saw that. I never knew he did serious acting roles, or is this his breakthrough in that genre?

Yorkshire is a place. Yorkshire is a state of mind.
