Olivia Colman On The Run In Joyride UK Trailer
If we could run away from our troubles many of us would do that. In Joyride two strangers find themselves on a unexpected journey, will running away make things better?
Ahead of it’s world premiere at Galway Film Fleadh, Vertigo Releasing have unveiled the UK Trailer for Joyride. The directorial feature debut for documentary maker, Emer Reynolds. Starring awarding winning actress Olivia Colman as Joy, a solicitor. Who didn’t expect to get pregnant and certainly didn’t expect to be hijacked. In a taxi stolen by a 12-year-old boy.
In current times when things are hard, friendship and unity come more important. Life has unexpected moments, some will shock us, others will bring a smile. Young actor looks the star of the show as much as Colman. It’s great that she also staring in the indies, like Joyride.
Joy (Colman) and Mully (Reid) are two lovable rogues. Joy is angry – she’s got a baby and motherhood does not come naturally to her; she feels she’s tossed her own dreams aside to give a screeching monster unconditional love. And, if she’s honest to herself, when she looks in the mirror she sees the shadow of her own neglectful mother. Twelve-year-old Mully also has a mum-shaped void in his life, as well as a conman dad. But Mully’s got balls; he knicks his dad’s stash of cash and steals a taxi in a bid for freedom. But, there’s an almighty yell from the back seat. It’s Joy – hungover, freaking out, and holding a baby! As they tear up the road on their riotous misadventure, we follow these roguish ‘outlaws’ in search of their dreams, in this feel-good, foul-mouthed fairy-tale..
The rest of the cast includes Charlie Reid, and Lochlann Ó Mearáin.
Joyride will be shown in UK and Irish cinemas from 29th July.
