This evening we had a first look at the Swimming with Men cast in action during BBC One’s Sport Relief (Our pool-heroes skit begins at the 1hr33min mark). They definitely made a splash (Telegraph).
Vertigo Films also released the first trailer for the film:
Faced with a full-blown mid-life crisis, accountant Eric (Rob Brydon) joins an all-male group of synchronised swimmers, discovering that making patterns in a pool can, for a couple of hours at least, smooth out the bumps in his work and marriage. Initially keeping their personal lives in the locker, the ramshackle squad and coach Susan (Charlotte Riley) slowly learn to reveal their inner lives, as well as their paunches. But can they get their lives and routines in sync as they embark on an unlikely journey to Milan to compete in the World Championship?
Director: Oliver Parker
Written by: Aschlin Ditta
Cast: Rob Brydon, Adeel Akhtar, Daniel Mays, Jim Carter, Rupert Graves, Thomas Turgoose, Charlotte Riley, Jane Horrocks, Nathaniel Parker
The film is released in the UK this summer.
We will have more updates on this brilliant film in the run-up to its release.
