Element Pictures Distribution is delighted to announce that Wide Open Spaces starring Ardal O’Hanlon and Ewan Bremner will be available on DVD from October 23rd. The DVD includes extras such as a “making of”, the film trailer and some interviews with the characters running the famine theme park!

Wide Open Spaces tells the story of Myles and Austin, a pair of thirty-somethings who laze around watching their lives flutter past. Fate, however, has plans to remedy their lack of motivation. Up to their necks in debt, they decide to help a dodgy entrepreneur, Gerard (Owen Roe), to create a new landmark in Irish tourism: a Famine Theme Park.

This absurdist comedy about how breaking up with your best friend can be tougher than ditching a fiancée, is filtered through the singular mind of writer Arthur Mathews (FATHER TED), and directed by Tom Hall (BACHELOR’S WALK). The film channels classic double act dramas, from Laurel and Hardy to Withnail and I, combined with a stark visual and thematic sensibility, to create an unforgettable comedic escapade.
