EFM 2010: Another Glimpse Of SUBMARINE's Oliver Tate.

I have been waiting too long for the film of my life. My name is Oliver Tate. This film will capture my particular idiosyncrasies, for example, the way I seduce my classmate Jordana Bevan using only my mind.  Also, since my parents' marriage is being threatened by a man who runs courses on Mental and Physical Wellbeing, the film will probably feature some elaborate set-pieces of me taking him down. There will be helicopter shots. There will be slow-mo, but also transcendent moments, like when I cure my father's depression. Knowing me as I do, I will be surprised if this film runs to less than three hours. Note to the press: appropriate adjectives to describe this film include "breath-taking" and "irresistible" as well the phrase: "a monumental achievement".

Based on the novel by Joe Dunthorne, Submarine is the feature directorial debut from British comic Richard Ayoade - you know him from The IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - and one that we've been looking forward to with much anticipation since we first caught wind of it.  Not only is Ayoade himself hugely talented but the source material is great and his cast - which includes Paddy Considine - is also very strong. 

Material on this one is trickling out slowly now that principal photography is complete.  No, no trailer yet but there has been a second still released.  Once again it is the "monumental" Oliver Tate appearing stylish while nicking Nick Drake's signature look.
