zwar kein neues last shadow puppets-album, aber das klingt nach guten neuigkeiten (und erinnert mich daran, dass „this is england“ aus irgendeinem unerklärlichen grunde immer noch ungesehen im regal steht — wahrscheinlich einfach der effekt, wenn man sich filme kauft, statt ausleiht. :spudnikco)
Arctic Monkeys-featuring film to premiere this month
Shane Meadows film ‚Le Donk‘ to premiere in Edinburgh
— Jun 4, 2009
Arctic Monkeys make an appearance in director Shane Meadows‚ new movie ‚Le Donk‘, which is set to premiered later this month.
The movie, which premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 23, is about a roadie named Donk (played by Paddy Considine) who attempts to make Nottingham rapper Scorz-Ayz-Ee (who plays himself) a star.
Along the way the duo get a helping hand from Arctic Monkeys, as well as 50,000 of their fans at the band’s 2007 Lancashire County Cricket Club (Old Trafford) gigs, during which some of the movie was filmed.

Writing on his official forum at Shanemeadows.proboards.com shortly before filming took place, Meadows revealed that he had originally been approached by the Arctic Monkeys about working together.
„A couple of months back I was asked to get involved with shooting a film with the Arctic Monkeys at their Old Trafford concert (happening over the last weekend of July),“ he wrote.
He added: „I didn’t really see myself making a concert film on a par with ‚Woodstock‘, so declined, but after talking to Paddy [B]Considine about how gutted I was that we have never made anything with the character of ‚Donk‚ the penny dropped and I realised that we had a golden platform for ‚Le Donk‘ staring us in the face.“
The comedy was shot for £30,000 and is largely improvised, according to Empireonline.com. It will be released on DVD this September.
Meadows has previously directed films including ‚This Is England‘ and ‚A Room for Romeo Brass‘.
Considine previously starred in Arctic Monkeys‚ video for their single ‚Leave Before The Lights Come On‘.
