Finally.

First Fortnight Festival starts TODAY at various locations around Dublin and runs for the next…fortnight.

Organised by Dave Keegan and JP Swaine (Top right, with actor Pat Kinevane), First Fortnight is a festival which aims to “challenge the stigma of mental illness through the arts”.

Standing before street art by ‘Friz’ in Crow Street, Temple Bar, Dublin, this morning were from left: Michael Pope from Le Galaxie, Ellie and Louise Macnamara (Heathers), Pat Kinevane and ‘Box of Frogs‘ cast members: Mary McEvoy, Dil Wickremasinghe and John Moynes, Broadsheet’s damn hipster ‘ricksmith.

What you may need to know:

1. Colin Farrell’s remake of Total Recall was possibly the most forgettable movie of 2012.

2. Next up: the Farreller stars in the US debut of the director who made
the original screen adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009).

4. Original ‘Lisbeth Salander’ Noomi Rapace co-stars.

3. We think Colin should do more comedy.

4. On that subject… What did you think of Seven Psychopaths (2012)?
