Movie Preview: Colin Farrell in Ondine

February 8, 2010

Colin Farrell's having a bit of a career resurgence thanks to his recent cameo in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and a memorable role in Crazy Heart. His latest movie, Ondine, is a fantasy that flies in another direction than you'd expect from the Irishman. In it, he plays a single father and fisherman (swoon-worthy accent intact) who pulls a woman, the titular Ondine, from the sea. His young daughter regales him with stories of mermaids and other mythology amid the woman's ability to bring him lots of luck (read: fish).

The trailer turns romantic, fantastical, and even thrilling — and it seems like it may work, given that it's coming from the masterful hand of director Neil Jordan. I'm loving Farrell's turn as a sweet father and sexy hero, and since most of you said you were still into him too, you'll enjoy this clip.

To see the preview, just read more.

Ondine comes out June 4.

amrita-That's what I was thinking! Both movies are based on the "selkie" mythology.

Blix, that's Colin's girlfriend Alicja Bachleda-Curus. She's a Polish actress, but she's also been in quite a few German films (which is where I know her from).
