Last week we showed you the first look at The Journey, and you all got pretty much as excited as we did about it.

In the trailer, we got to see Timothy Spall play the DUP's Ian Paisley and our own Colm Meaney playing the late Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness. The movie follows a fictional meeting between the pair, although the overall film is based on true events, and features one of the last performances from the late, great John Hurt. Meaney has already been nominated for Best Actor for his role here in the upcoming Irish Film & Television Awards, and while we knew the movie was going to be part of the Belfast Film Festival later this year, we weren't sure when the movie was going to be hitting Irish cinemas. Turns out the producers couldn't wait to get it out there, because we'll all be able to get our eyes on it from 5 May. And in case you missed it, here's the trailer again: Video via IFC Films
