The trailer for the upcoming spy-thriller Blackbird has just dropped. The film is written, produced, directed, and acted in by Lord of the Dance creator Michael Flatley.
We were already excited for the ridiculousness such a film would throw up, having reported about it last summer. However, the trailer has given us everything we could have asked for and more.
The last line in in particular is phenomenal.
Bless me father for I have sinned........And I'm about to sin again.
Questionable dialogue, hilariously bad acting, and pointless shots are all served up the trailer, which shows Michal Flatley in a Bond-like role, and is apparently the only man who can save the world.
You can check out the trailer to the movie below, which will be released in Irish cinemas on September 2nd.

Michael Flatley Gives Up The Dancing Shoes
The IMDB synopsis of the movie is as follows;
Troubled secret agent ‘Blackbird’ abruptly retires from service and opens a luxurious nightclub in the Caribbean to escape the dark shadows of his past.
An old flame arrives and reignites love in his life but she brings danger with her.
Last year, Michael Flatley spoke about the film and what he was aiming to achieve with it.
I wanted to make a modern movie reminiscent of old Hollywood.
The classics were always entertaining without being excessively violent or complicated. We shot the movie in Barbados, Ireland and London, capturing some of the most cinematically picturesque locations on film, all of which have a special place in my heart.
I’m honoured to be showing ‘Blackbird’ at the inaugural Monaco Streaming Film Festival. It’s an innovative venture and opens the doors globally to a rapidly evolving digital marketplace.
Roll on September 2nd, and the sure to be endless stream of memes and social media reaction.
