With its release date fast approaching it was about time we saw a trailer for PRIDE…and here it is!
Starring Imelda Staunton, Paddy Considine, Bill Nighy, Dominic West, Joseph Gilgun, George MacKay and Andrew Scott, this hilarious British comedy is directed by Tony award-winner Matthew Warchus (Matilda: The Musical), whose name rounds off this impressive cast and crew list. Have a read of the official synopsis below to learn more:
Set in the summer of 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But there is a problem; the Union seems embarrassed to receive their support.
But the activists are not deterred. They decide to ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership.
I’m a huge, huge fan of Staunton, Considine and Nighy, and with THIS IS ENGLAND’s Gilgun added into the mix it just makes me want to see this even more. I can’t wait!
Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
