A faux documentary written by London-based VFX supremo Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull (The Dark Knight, Prince Of Persia) detailing mankind’s first interstellar travel in the not-to-distant future.

As the mission unfolds with extraordinary results, the scientists find themselves dealing with a much bigger agenda.

Since the film was released last week, Dulull has been signed by Hollywood to develop and direct a feature-film version.

-2Snake Oil.

By Alan O’Regan.

The man behind the Chompksy reboot.

“A chance meeting in an airport bar between Ed (Raymond Keane), an older businessman and Shell (Ciara O’Callaghan), a young woman in financial difficulty leads to a tactful proposition. As a result, Ed encounters Conor (Gerard Adlum), a young man who appears on the surface to be an idle student but may just hold the key to a potentially revolutionary and very lucrative formula.The meeting between Shell and Ed could mean a remedy for one and all, but was it by chance?

No part for a certain top-hatted dog then?

Never mind.

Snake Oil opens tomorrow Tuesday 18th June in Theatre Upstairs, Lanigan’s Bar, Eden Quay (around the corner from the Abbey). Lunchtime and Evening Shows running until June 29.

“A huge thank you to Joe Higgins TD, Cllr Declan Bree, the Parades Commission Northern Ireland, the organisers of G8 Not Welcome Protest Enniskillen. The two solicitors who gave their services for free, and everyone who made phone calls and offered support. Our Peace Rocket is now back in our possession, and Will carry our message of Peace Unity and Justice to World leaders in Enniskillen today.”

What you may need to know:

1. This trailer features dwarf-tossing.

2. Marty Scorsese and Leo Di Caprio – they’re back! With Jonah Hill! And McConaughey!

3. Think Goodfellas (1990), only with yuppies.

4. That Best Supporting Actor Oscar is already McConaughey’s. And Leo’s probably due one, too.

5. People complain that Scorsese hasn’t done anything decent in years. To which we say: shut up.

Bottom Line: Best trailer of the year to date. We couldn’t be more excited.

Release Date: Winter
