Watch: Domhnall and Brian Gleeson relive their childhood in music video PLUS Brian Gleeson's new film STANDBY trailer

ENTERTAINMENT



The Gleesons are, undoubtedly, Ireland's first acting family.

What with Brian Gleeson starring in romantic comedies like Standby and Domhnall Gleeson turning up in a small film called Star Wars: Episode VI, they're definitely going places.

But where they did start out? Making movies at their home in North Dublin when they were only chisellers.

The new music video for Squarehead shows the brothers Gleeson reuniting after Brian finds their home movies.

Pretty soon, they're off having a kick-around, play cops-n-robbers and generally reliving their childhood.

Domhnall Gleeson fuels rumours of reunion with father Brendan Gleeson on screen

IRISH POST
By Nemesha Balasundaram on April 28, 2014



IRISH actor Domhnall Gleeson has fuelled rumours that he may star alongside his father Brendan on the big screen, once again.

“I’ve got to keep my mouth shut for the moment, but maybe some time in the next year we might get working on something, that’d be fun,” the About Time leading-man revealed.

The pair previously worked together on Calvary, in which they both performed in front of the camera, and earlier in Noreen (2010), where Domhnall wrote and directed his father in his short film about two Gardaí.

Speaking to The Irish Post on the red carpet at London’s O2 on the first day of Sundance London, where he was promoting his new film Frank alongside Michael Fassbender and director Lenny Abrahamson, the enthusiastic star spoke of potential opportunities for his family to reunite for audiences in the near future.

“We’ll figure it out, my brother Brian is a tremendous actor also, so we’re working on it, we’ll see what we can come up with,” he added.

Snow White and the Huntsman: Film Review 2:40 AM PDT 5/31/2012 by Todd McCarthy (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)

The Bottom Line

Strikingly designed and cast makeover of the children's tale into a straight-line, romance-free action odyssey.

A bold rethinking of a familiar old story and striking design elements are undercut by a draggy mid-section and undeveloped characters in Snow White and the Huntsman. After the campy family farce of Mirror, Mirror, this second revisionist take of the year on the 19th century fairy tale strides out deadly serious and in full armor, not to mention with more costume changes for Charlize Theron than a Lady Gaga concert. Designed to appeal to teen and young adult girls and guys, this muscular PG-13-rated action adventure conspicuously lacks romance but should get a good box office ride on the shoulders of stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth.

The teeing up is dramatic, to say the least, giving a swift and dire account of the malevolent usurpation of the throne of a rugged waterfront kingdom by Ravenna (Theron), a stunning blonde who infiltrates from enemy territory, bewitches the widowed monarch and dispatches him on their wedding night. The king's daughter is kept prisoner in a high tower until her maturity, at which point the queen's mirror, in this case a giant golden plate that morphs into a molten statue, informs her that the status of fairest in the land has shifted to Snow White (Stewart), who represents the queen's greatest threat as well as her salvation.

One the rise for 2012: Domhnall Gleeson and others (INDIEWIRE)

It's hard to know who qualifies for a list like this, but we wanted to lean towards new faces, rather than picking out names you've likely been hearing a lot about recently. Guys like Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Benjamin Walker (the star of this year's "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter") and Joel Kinnaman (who will be the new "RoboCop") all have parts in big movies on the way, and will form the next wave of stars for sure, but these actors are right behind them. Have a look below, let us know who you think you could break out soon, and stay tuned for our look at the actresses tomorrow. So, in alphabetical order...

Domhnall Gleeson

Having a famous actor for a dad might help open a few doors, but there's plenty of celebrity offspring who never managed to make it last, let alone generate the kind of excitement that Domhnall Gleeson is whisking up these days.

The son of Irish character actor favorite Brendan Gleeson (and brother of Brian Gleeson, who's playing one of the dwarves in "Snow White and the Huntsman"), spell-check nemesis Domhnall starred alongside his father in "Studs" and Martin McDonagh's Oscar-winning short "Six Shooter" before picking up a Tony nomination at 23 for his Broadway role in McDonagh's "The Lieutenant of Inishmore."
