It is a lovely, funny story and a brilliant cast. Michael Sheen is absolutely gorgeous, wearing plenty of black leather throughout most of the film (so that will please the Lucian fans ), and it is also quite unique in that it is one of the very few films that Michael uses his own natural Welsh accent. He clearly demonstrates his great comedic timing, and is just adorable playing what is essentially a cad!  There are almost 200 screencaps in the Gallery you may wish to look/ogle at!

PS – Dont forget we still have another competition running to win a copy of Unthinkable on BluRay. See  HERE for details.

Dead Long Enough is to get a re-release on DVD by Bluebell Films.  The film stars Michael Sheen as Harry Jones, a successful womanising archaeologist turned TV celebrity.

A limited number is currently available on Amazon UK through re-sellers as this 2005 DVD is only available in Ireland, distributed through Eclipse Pictures.

Presumably Bluebell Films are re-releasing this due to Michael Sheen’s increasing popularity. Amazon UK have a release date of 13th September, and it has a lovely new cover too.  I have added a link to it in Amazon on the project page, or you can click on the thumbnail below to pre-order your copy now.

If you have not already seen this film, then I can not recommend it strongly enough. It is a lovely, funny story and a brilliant cast.
