Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have made no secret that behind-the-scenes filming has begun
We stand on the verge of a golden age of North Walian entertainment. Next summer, assuming this godawful pandemic relents, filming will begin on a movie called A League Apart. An “original
British romantic comedy”, it will tell the story of lovelorn Phil, forced on the curved horns of a dilemma by his restless girlfriend. He has to choose between her or his deadbeat
Football team – a tough one for Phil, as Wrexham are just about to play
Arsenal in the 1992 FA Cup.
There is some dramatic irony, in that Wrexham pull off one of the biggest giantkillings of the modern era when Mickey Thomas’s late, rasping free-kick helps to topple George Graham’s league champions. The issue the film hopefully resolves is whether Phil gets to see it, or even better, gives his girlfriend his ticket.
