Movie Premieres in Newspaper

"The Riddle", a smart twisty thriller written and directed by Brendan Foley, made newspaper and film history on September 16, 2007 when it becomes the first movie ever to receive its premiere in a national newspaper.

The UK's Mail on Sunday bought the rights to the film and gave away close to 2.5 million dvds free with the Sunday paper, supported by TV ads and a poster campaign.

"As the maker of a UK and Irish indie movie with a great cast, this is as good as it gets," says Brendan. His film stars Vinnie Jones, Derek Jacobi, Vanessa Redgrave and Julie Cox.

"The Riddle has had great reviews so far, so I hope people will help spread the word and if you're in UK or Ireland that you enjoy the movie . ."

The Riddle's plot centres on an ambitious journalist, determined to unravel a series of modern murders that follow the discovery of an unpublished Charles Dickens novel in a London pub.
