Sheila Hancock, veteran star of stage and screen, swapped treading the boards for the well-trodden path up Suilven (731m) in Sutherland, for a role in Simon Hunter's feature film Edie, due for UK cinema release on 25th May. The film follows Sheila as 83 year-old Edie, a widow who vows to fulfil a long-held dream to climb Suilven following the death of her controlling husband.
We got in touch with director Simon Hunter to find out more about the film.
I'm trying to think who I can go to the cinema with to watch this; my wife gets annoyed at my emotional involvement in films, and I struggled through the TRAILER without crying. Such a sucker.
