Joyous News: Film to be set in Kings Heath

After last years grime-musical '1Day' which aided the already negative views of Birmingham even further, it seemed as if Birmingham would never be able to claw its way out of the industrialised image it has obtained over decades. Adding to this, over the years, whenever a piece of media media wants to portray a unintelligent character they use a Brummie accent to put this across. The new subway sandwich advert, for example, implements a Birmingham speaker when they make clear that they don't need a flashy voice over to sell their meals. Surely this shouldn't be happening to our second city?

Fear not, it seems another film is being set in Birmingham (WOW that's almost two in two years) and whats more there's a scene filmed at everybody's favourite newly refurbished establishment, The Hare and Hounds!

WOWZA! Its soooOoooOOooooo gonna put Kings Heath on the map and become CHILL BRO central (UK edition)

Here's a clip of them in rehearsals for the film:




I'm hoping the guy in the lame white shades is being ironic otherwise it would be more appropriate if the film was titled "graduate neeks go wild in Brum".

The film however is called 'Turbulence' which again could be bordering on irony as Turbulent this film looks not.

A question should be raised here as to why another musical is being set in Birms. Is it because our accents are so melodious that it is the perfect setting for a sing-along? If so why weren't Grease or Glee set here? That would have been outta control. Well in a jokey 'this is still shit' kinda way. Oh well.

The film could be a sweet success, who knows?


What would Nick Owen say?

He'd probably say "this is gon' put Brummingam on the tha map, yo" or something to that effect.













We'll just have to wait to see if yet another piece of media shits on Birmingham.
