Chris Morris's "Four Lions" looks fantastic!

[Deleted User] · 25/01/10 - 16:10

Clip here. I'd never even heard of it, but the clip has had me absolutely screaming! If like me you've never heard of it, I've no doubt you will soon, as it follows the adventures of a group of wannabe suicide bombers (from my lovely Sheffield, no less) planning a mission to London.

It sounds utterly tasteless, and is bound to get the Daily Mail lot riled, but I'll bet it proves to be a guilty pleasure for film fans, and on the evidence of the clip, has a true Morris wicked sense of humour.

:D:D I'm looking forward to this, this is bound to be a cracker.

They reminded my of the useless Terrorists featured in BBC's Monkey Dust

I am really looking forward to it, when it was first mooted predictably they couldn't get any funding but quite a few members of the public offered to chip in £50 to get it made (meself included) I can't wait to see it. That man can do no wrong in my eyes!

Can't wait. Apparently it was originally going to be a channel 4 project, but after the Danish cartoon scandal, they panicked and pulled out so he had to go it alone.

Morris is a genius. Whats funny is when he satirizes hot button sensationalist issues and there's a media storm over his programmes......they only re-inforce his original point.

Yeah, Morris IS a genius. I never thought this would happen. This has made my year already.

Looks fantastic from the clips, surprised The Daily Mail haven't got wind of it yet and started a campaign against the film.

rivercity_rules · 25/01/10 - 21:25

That first clip is bloody hilarious.

"Why is she covering her face"
"Because she's got a beard"

Brilliant! When is this out?

kingjeremy · 25/01/10 - 22:22

Can't wait for this

timboy · 26/01/10 - 22:42

That looks superb.

I don't get why Channel 4 turned it down, however Film4 picked it up, aren't they basically the same company?

The Daily Hail will probably love it as it may encourage people to get angry about Islam in general. Looks very funny.

There's another review here.

stoatie · 30/01/10 - 19:18

There was just a programme on Radio 4 about Morris- (7pm Saturday, if anyone wants to hear it on the iPlayer).

[Deleted User] · 30/01/10 - 20:25

Does anyone know the date this film is released, it looks brill

Ghost World · 31/01/10 - 15:51

I think it's getting released in Spring, but only in major cities.

ruddiger · 16/03/10 - 22:24

The Heil will probably say they love it and anyone who doesn't is too PC. It's not exactly the establishment he's taking the piss out of is it?
