We saw first images and then Magnolia took U.S. rights and now the trailer for ONDINE has hit the web, you can watch it using the media player below. ONDINE is the enchanting story of Syracuse (Farrell), a lonely fisherman who one day pulls a beautiful woman named Ondine (Bachleda) out of the sea in his nets. His young daughter Annie is convinced that she is a “selkie” —a creature from Irish folklore much like a mermaid. Syracuse has his doubts, but as Ondine brings some luck and joy to his otherwise downcast life, he starts to come around as well. ONDINE deftly blends romance and fantasy with the realism of modern life in an Irish seaside town…
Starring… Colin Farrell, Stephen Rea, and beautiful newcomer Alicja Bachleda in the title role, the film was also produced by Ben Browning and James Flynn for Wayfare Entertainment, and executive produced by Michael Maher and Peter Rawlinson. It will be released early this summer as part of Magnolia’s Ultra VOD program, debuting on video on demand systems nationwide a month prior to its theatrical release.
