Way back in 2010, the cast and crew involved in the film Ecstasy called Sault Ste. Marie home.

Portions of this dark romantic comedy, based on Irvine Welsh's book of the same name, were filmed here over the month of December and a number of local aspiring actors enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the production.

Mr. Welsh’s first book, Trainspotting, published in 1993 (and voted by Waterstone, Europe’s largest bookstore chain, as one of the Ten Best Books of the Century), sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone, and has its own cinematic Cinderella success story.

Now the Sault will have a chance to finally see Ecstasy in its entirety when it screens at the Grand Theatre (641 Queen Street East) on Saturday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Ecstasy, scripted and directed by music video director Rob Heydon, includes cast members Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Chuck), Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings), Carlo Rota (Little Mosque on the Prairie) and Adam Sinclair (Van Wilder 2).
