Trailer released for “The Grand Seduction”, starring Brendan Gleeson

Brendan Gleeson, who played Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody in the Potter films, will next be seen in Don McKellar’s The Grand Seduction. You can read a synopsis of the film below:

A small fishing village must procure a local doctor to secure a lucrative business contract. When unlikely candidate and big city doctor Paul Lewis lands in their lap for a trial residence, the townsfolk rally together to charm him into staying. As the doctor’s time in the village winds to a close, acting mayor Murray French (Gleeson) has no choice but to pull out all the stops.

The film, which co-stars Taylor Kitsch, is a remake of the 2003 French-Canadian film Le grande seduction, and it received a warm reception when it premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. You can watch a trailer below:

The Grand Seduction opens on May 30 in limited release. Do you plan on checking it out? Let us know your thoughts!
