Aussie & Irish stars at Ned Kelly Premiere...

Last night saw the Irish Premiere of Ned Kelly, a movie which is very close to every Irish person's heart mainly because its an Irish hardship story set in Australia.


Laurence Kinlan at Ned Kelly Premiere

Ned Kelly is a movie about an Australian outlaw but it could have as easily been set in Ireland at the same time around 1880 as its main focus is Irish oppression at the hands of the British.


Laurence Kinlan and Ioan Gruffudd

It shows the unlikely emergence of an Australian/Irish icon through a series of events which brought Ned Kelly and his compatriots into direct conflict with Queen Victoria's constabulary.


Joel Edgerton and Cathy Freeman

One of the main characters and one if the notorious Kelly Gang in the movie is Dubliner Laurence Kinlan who plays Ned's brother Dan Kelly. Laurence told ShowBiz Ireland that he is off to LA soon looking for work after his convincing costarring role.


The Big Bear Brendan Gleeson

Also at the Premiere was Australian actor Joel Edgerton who plays traitor Aaron Sherrit in the movie. Joel is in Ireland at the moment, with his Olympic Gold Medal winning girlfriend Cathy Freeman, filming King Arthur.


Ray Stevenson

The movie itself has a strong cast with Heath Ledger playing Ned and Orlando Bloom playing outlaw and playboy Joe Byrne.

Although all characters give convincing performances and the Irish accents aren't too bad the film is very uninvolving and the harsh context in which Ned and his clan found themselves wasn't fully established.

It is rumoured that Neil Jordan, who was also in attendance at the movie, is going to make his own version of this legendary tale and by the general consensus of reviews he has a lot to work with.

Also at the premiere were King Arthur cast Ray Stevenson, Sean Gilder, Ioan Gruffudd, and Joel Edgerton Irish actor Brendan Gleeson and chat show host Pat Kenny.
