Once more unto the breach, dear friends.

Yes, Shakespeare wrote Coriolanus. Who knew? Well, Ralph Fiennes for one. The Academy Award nominated actor famous for The English Patient, Schindler’s List, and playing Harry Potter’s nemesis Voldemort, has chosen the Bard’s much overlooked play for his directorial debut.

But set in contemporary Belgrade, it's Shakespeare unlike you’ve ever seen it before. Join me, Alice Tynan, The Sci Fi Show’s Oscar Hillerstrom and Trespass Magazine’s Beth Wilson on our cinematic voyage of discovery, as we delve into the legendary life of Roman General Caius Marcias, transformed into a towering filmmaking debut by Fiennes.

Now you may not pay much attention to opening credits, but chances are the bolt of lightening in Icon Film’s logo has caught your eye, for Icon has been bottling cinematic lightening for years, with hits like SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, THE QUEEN and THE IRON LADY firing up our screens.

I’m joined by fellow Clubber Oscar Hillerstrom and special guest, the General Manager of Icon Films, Greg Denning, to find out about the Icon origin story – yes it’s Mel Gibson’s baby, their eclectic 2012 slate and just how they get lightening to strike time and time again!
