7th April 2010 ~ I received a message on facebook from Lauren at Content Republic with some news about LE DONK & SCOR-ZAY-ZEE becoming available to watch online this April at LOVEFiLM:
"LE DONK & SCOR-ZAY-ZEE - available to watch online this April at LOVEFiLM Starring Paddy Considine, Scor-Zay-Zee, Olivia Colman, The Arctic Monkeys Directed by Shane Meadows Content Republic are pleased to announce that film fans can watch Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee online at LOVEFiLM from April 2010. Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee is an improvised comedy, shot over five days by Shane Meadows, devised with and starring Paddy Considine. Rock roadie and failed musician, Le Donk (Considine) has lived, loved and learned (?). Along the way he’s lost a girlfriend (Olivia Colman) and his life has turned to shit. But… he has found a new sidekick in up-and-coming Nottingham rap prodigy Scor-zay-zee (playing himself). With Meadows’ fly-on-the-wall crew in tow, Donk sets out to make Scor-zay-zee (and himself) a star… with a little help from the Arctic Monkeys… This low-budget rockumentary follows Le Donk and Scorz on their journey of a lifetime; it’s an unpredictable, irrepressible ode to spontaneous filmmaking – and to a burgeoning UK rap talent."
