Top Stars Attending 'Strength and Honour’ Premiere
24 Oct 2007 :
Strength & Honour
Stars of Mark Mahon’s feature film debut 'Strength and Honour'; including Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs); Richard Chamberlain (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry); Patrick Bergin (Sleeping With The Enemy); Finbar Furey and Gail Fitzpatrick; are set to attend the film's premiere at the Cork Opera House on 19th November.

The film, which was shot over seven weeks in Cork last autumn, tells the story of an Irish-American boxer (Madsen) who promised his late wife he would never fight again having killed his friend in the ring.

However, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder that killed his wife, he is forced to go back on his promise and become a bare knuckle boxer in order to raise money for the boy's life-saving surgery. The film also features Hollywood bad boy Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) as Madsen’s bare knuckle boxing component.

'Strength and Honour' recently won Best Picture at the Boston Film Festival, with Madsen also picking up a Best Actor award. The feature also recently screened at the Rome Film Festival, and will receive another airing at the Seville Film Festival in November.

The film features original music by Ilan Eshkeri, with DOP Alan Almond, and editing by Kate Coggins.

'Strength and Honour', will be released in Irish cinemas on 30th November. Proceeds from the Cork gala screening will go to the Marymount Hospice.
