If you cast your mind back to November you may recall we posted a news piece about an upcoming British short entitled Venus and the Sun, a comic retelling of the Venus and Adonis myth described as "a mix of live-action and animation that celebrates the power of stories and explores themes of vanity, identity and societies obsession with image". Directed by Adam Randall (Hooded, Easier Ways to Make a Living) and produced by Andy Brunskill (Tamara Drewe, The Other Boleyn Girl, The Men Who Stare at Goats), Venus and the Sun marks the first foray into acting for page 3 beauty Keeley Hazell, who stars alongside comedian Will Smith (The Thick of It) and Ukweli Roach (StreetDance 3D).
Now completed, Venus and the Sun is gearing up for its premiere on Thursday night (10th March) at the Rich Mix cinema in Shoreditch and will also be available via download and DVD from the official site, and the short is also set to be released as the first ever film iPhone app, which you can download from iTunes.
