British distributors Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment have revealed that they are preparing for Blu-ray release Rob Heydon's Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy, (2011), starring Adam Sinclair, Kristin Kreuk and Billy Boyd. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is August 20th.

Dark-tinged indie romantic comedy based on Irvine Welsh's novella 'The Undefeated', taken from his three-part follow-up to the bestselling 'Trainspotting': 'Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance'. A chemical-fuelled romance with the beautiful and unhappily married Heather (Kreuk) gives Lloyd (Sinclair) a taste of pure ecstasy - but a drugs run gone wrong soon leads to one comedown too many. Irvine Welsh makes a cameo appearance as a Scotland Against Drugs representative.

Pro-B

Is anybody else planning on getting this.
I might, but mostly cos I'm a fan of Kreuk

[James78]

I'm going to rent it, as I love Trainspotting. However, I don't know if this is regarded as being particularly good.

[nitinblurayfan]

Also, I hope this isn't as disturbing as Requiem

[James78]

It's described here as being a "dark romantic comedy":

Ok, that's a relief

The sex/nudity will be absent as Kreuk never does any.

The violence might be at the PG-13 level.

THe only thing I'm concerned about is the gore.

I wanna watch this with my parents but I don't know if I should. Can anybody who's watched the movie help me out here please? Thanks

It looks like drug use and strong sex are the reason for an 18 certificate:

Thanks

'Contains very strong language, frequent drug use and strong sex'

Strong sex?Kreuk? In the same sentence?

Language is fine..Judging by that, I think the drug use will be shown like in Taken, nothing more graphic.
What do you think?

[James78]

I haven't seen Taken, but I imagine the drug use would be similar to that in Trainspotting?

I haven't seen Trainspotting .
You should watch Taken though.It's more than just an action flick that the trailer will have you believe.

[James78]

I'll watch Taken if you watch Trainspotting. Deal?

[Foggy]

This film looks awful and reviews have been relentless against it, plus I'm not too crazy on Trainspotting and the fact this looks like a straight unashamed rip off doesn't help my feeling towards it
