What you may need to know:

1. The Paperboy is already known as that movie where Nicole Kidman pisses on Zac Efron. Seriously.

2. The reviews from Cannes were nigh upon catastrophic, with a few passionate defenders. Some already suggest it’s a future camp classic.

3. Matthew McConaughey’s just experienced the biggest career turnabout since John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. A year ago, he was a punchline who couldn’t keep his shirt on. Now he’s working with Scorsese.

4. John Cusack wears the haunted look of someone in need of a McConaughey-esque career enema. He shouldn’t have turned down the lead in Breaking Bad.

5. As for McConaughey, well, he just keeps living.

Release date (Ireland): TBC (October US)

And probably even electric.

 

Press Statement

The Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan has presented his report to the Minister for Justice , Equality and Defence. The nature of the concerts held in the Phoenix Park on the 5th, 7th and 8th of July 2012 were such that they attracted a different cohort of patrons each night.

The Thursday night and Sunday night concerts passed off from a policing perspective as predicted during the planning stages for these events.

The concert on the Saturday night (7th July) however didn’t have such a predictable outcome. In that context the review conducted by An Garda Síochána has highlighted a number of matters that need to be addressed in future planning of large outdoor concerts of similar nature.

An Garda Síochána are engaged with the concert promoters and other stakeholders to ensure the implementation of the recommendations contained in the recent review, so that all patrons can enjoy and have a positive experience when attending such events.
