Bill Nighy’s “unforgettable” Ireland-set drama with “incredible” cast gets emotional first trailer

The first trailer is out for 500 Miles, a moving drama filmed in Ireland and starring Bill Nighy. The film, directed by Morgan Matthews and written by Malcolm Campbell, tells the story of two young brothers who run away from home to find their grandfather, whom they haven’t seen in a long time.

Dexter Sol Ansell, who recently starred in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Roman Griffin Davis, known for his role in Jojo Rabbit, play brothers Charlie and Finn. Bill Nighy plays their grandfather.

The film also stars Maisie Williams, Deirdre Monaghan, Loré Adewusi, Eoin Duffy, Clare Dunne, and Michael Socha, completing a strong ensemble cast.

What to Read Next

Finn and his energetic younger brother, Charlie, run away from their worried parents and begin a huge journey. They travel across the country, from Yorkshire to the western coast of Ireland, facing an exciting adventure along the way.

I’m really invested in this story! It follows these two young brothers who are on their way to Dingle, in County Kerry, to see their grandfather. Their parents haven’t spoken to him since something happened last summer, so it’s a pretty big deal. Luckily, they’ve got some help from Cait, a really cool and free-spirited musician they meet along the way. I’m excited to see how it all unfolds!

The film 500 Miles will debut at the Dublin International Film Festival tomorrow. Festival organizers call it a memorable story with a fantastic cast.

The trailer for the new film portrays it as a heartwarming and inspiring road trip that celebrates life and the strength of people. It shows the characters starting their adventure.

The trailer depicts two young brothers, Charlie and Finn, climbing out of their bedroom window after overhearing their parents fighting. Charlie asks, “What’s happening, Finn? Where are we going?”

“We just need to get to Grandpa’s; he’ll know what to do,” Finn said. “What are we going to see him about?” Charlie asked.

“Keeping us together,” says Finn.

They met Cait on the train, and she seemed curious about where they were going. Soon after, she ended up traveling with them on a bus.

The boys finally reach the Dingle Peninsula and find their grandfather, and the trailer concludes with a series of touching moments.

500 Miles has yet to announce an official release date.
