		<description><![CDATA[OWF's Mike Edwards caught up with Kevin Zegers last week to talk about his new movie Fifty Dead Men Walking, his influences and even a special, brief Movie Castaway!



Q. How much did you know about the situation is Northern Ireland before you got involved with this project, and did you do much research into the IRA?
I grew up in Canada and therefore learned a lot about world history growing up.  I knew the basic about the "troubles" yet tried to go to Belfast with a very open mind.  Once I arrived in Belfast, I threw myself into the culture and did a lot of research with Jim, about Northern Ireland and the IRA.  I was determined to blend in with the locals and try to master the accent.

		<description><![CDATA[The political situation of Ireland has proved fertile ground for an array of superb films that have engraved themselves on popular consciousness for depicting without mercy the pain, the hardship, the ideological commitment and the personal struggles involved in battle between the IRA, the Ulster Volunteer Force, and the British Army; not to mention the general populace and the more reasonable political proponents of both loyalism and separatism.

Strangely though, Fifty Dead Men Walking chooses not to follow in the traditions of its worthy filmic predecessors and instead goes the route of the recent terrorist dramas set in Iraq.



Inspired by the true story of Martin McGartland, the film follows Martin (Jim Sturgess), a young lad from west Belfast in the late 1980s. A Catholic boy from an IRA controlled area, he doesn't have access to most jobs because a majority of businesses are controlled by the Protestants and makes a living selling stolen goods. However one day he comes in close contact with some IRA bigwigs, and no sooner have they talked of involving him in their operations than he is recruited by the British Police as a mole.
