Film Hebrides

This is another very obscure film, with no listing anywhere but a handful of articles regarding its (remote) filming location (the Castaway 2000 island). The film is produced by Ultimate Pictures. It is based on a true story about German scientist trying to link a remote Scottish community on the Hebridean island of Scarp to the outside world in the midst of the budding WWII - in less grand words, trying to deliver mail by rockets! According to an article about Scotland's own rocket-y experiments, the film has a budget of £5 million and is tipped to be a smash hit when released this summer (I hope they mean 2002!). Kevin's character is supposed to be the love rival of Zucher, and it seems the story focus on relationship more than mail, from the Scotland on Sunday article. They actually called it some sort of Romeo and Juliet in Scotland. Now I just hope Dr McKinnon is a lot more important line-wise than poor Count Paris! If you have any concrete information on the film, please email me!
