Exclusive Hunky Dory Trailer

You might not believe us without watching the trailer yourself, but Minnie Driver does an exceptionally good Welsh accent in her upcoming role in feel-good coming of age film Hunky Dory.

Set in 1970s Swansea, it tells the tale of drama teacher Viv (Driver) as she tries to ger her students into sing, dance and act their way through an ELO and Bowie-inspired musical version of The Tempest.

A large, relatively unknown ensemble cast of young actors fill the ranks, lead by shy Davey (Ironclad's Aneurin Barnard) and "town bike" Stella (Danielle Branch), creating what looks to be a happy-go-lucky tale of young love, sun-drenched summers and Bowie's musical genius.

Take a look at the trailer yourself and let us know what you think - do we have another Billy Elliot on our hands? It's definitely not a Sex Lives Of The Potato Men... Plus, can you believe how good Minnie's accent is? Let us know in the comment box below.
