Chris Morris, film director

January 23rd, 2010 | 4:17pm by Jim Bliss

It’s a nailed-on certainty that the Daily Mail is going to have an outrage-athon when it’s released (the premiere is tonight at The Sundance Festival). But if the first feature film from Chris Morris (Day Today, Blue Jam, Brass Eye, etc.) is half as funny as this clip implies, then it’s also a nailed-on certainty that it’ll be worth seeing. Four Lions is being described as “jihadist comedy”.

  1. been looking forward to this film for a long time.

  2. Off-topic, but… were you the James Bliss who got an email read-out on PM tonight? Listen at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qbqc4 about 50:40. It’s about bankers and bonuses; I hope you don’t mind that I thought of you when I heard it…

  3. “I was disguised”
    “Yeah, but as a terrorist”

    Inspired!

    Not me, Doormat, though it was rather uncanny. It certainly sounded like something I might have said.
