The fate of Canadian film lies in the hands of Bubbles, Ricky and Julian - better-known as the Trailer Park Boys.
Ridiculous as it seems, that's what it has come down to. The whole future of the film biz in this country might depend on a gang of foul-mouthed, beer-swilling, pot-smoking misfits.
Well maybe not just them. Quebec funnyman Patrick Huard may also have a hand in saving Canadian film. The sagging English-Canadian film scene is also set to get some emergency relief from comic icon Mary Walsh, Red Violin director Francois Girard and Pirates of the Caribbean beauty Keira Knightley.
These high-profile folks will all be doing their bit in the coming months to try to persuade Canadians to spend their hard-earned bucks to see homegrown flicks and, for the first time in years, there is some cautious optimism that English-language Canadian cinema might finally be ready for its close-up.
