A historic first meeting has taken place between the UK and Irish heads of actors union Equity in which they called for film productions in Ireland to ensure equal and fair terms and conditions for both British and Irish performers.

Many production companies in the Republic of Ireland offer buy-outs to actors who then lose appropriate royalties and protection for their performances while their employers enjoy government tax breaks and licence fee revenues, the union added.

Equity General Secretary Paul Fleming and Irish Equity President Gerry O’Brien met for the first time earlier this week and said they would do further work in the future to...

Coming from Conor McMahon, director of cult horror movie Stitches, From The Dark, filmed on location in Co. Laois, has finished principal photography. Starring Irish talent Niamh Algar (Savage Eye), Stephen Cromwell (Love/Hate), and Gerry O'Brien (Reign of Fire), From The Dark tells the story of a young couple who encounter an ancient evil on a road trip through the Irish countryside. No word whether this will follow the humorous road taken by Stitches, but judging by the creepy first image from the movie above, featuring Algar trapped in an underground tunnel, I have a feeling McMahon might be tackling straight horror this time round. No release date has been given for From The Dark as of yet.
