Irish actor Eoin Macken (Merlin, Centurion) has joined the cast of Irish director Graham Cantwell’s (Trapped, Anton) latest film ‘The Callback Queen’ with only days to go before the film wraps.

The independent film, follows ambitious actress Kate Loughlin played by Amy Joyce Hastings (The Guards, The Tudors), who is on the cusp of her big break when she lands an audition for the lead role in a massive movie franchise, based on the ‘Prince of Chaos’ novels by legendary author Horatio King. Macken stars alongside Hastings, Ger Ryan (RAW, Intermission) and Sean T. O’Meallaigh (Seacth, Kings) and appears in a scene which are described by the director as ‘a film within a film’. He plays the character Prince Cal in a ‘Prince of Chaos’ sequence.

Speaking about working on the film Macken said, “It has been a pleasure being aboard the film as I’ve always wanted to work with Graham, he’s a good friend and a very talented filmmaker.”

Speaking about the latest shoot Graham told IFTN, “I am delighted to have finally gotten the chance to work with Eoin. We have known each other for years so it was great to get on set together. Eoin was the one who recommended Dolbadarn Film Horses to us, from his work on ‘Merlin’. The scenery in Snowdonia is stunning so we’re very happy with how the footage is looking. We have just two more days to shoot in February then we are all done filming.”

The ‘Prince of Chaos’ footage was shot in Snowdonia, North Wales. The film is written and directed by Graham Cantwell. Director of Photography on the project is Anthony Bowes (Limbo, Creamy Love). Its Executive Producer is Stephen Gibson (A Tain Darkness Descends, I Am Spoon).

An offline edit of the film is already complete and the grade will take place in Ireland. Lime Street Sound are on board to do the sound design and mix. Final stages of post will begin once the fine edit is completed in March.

Commentary by director/actor Eoin Macken and actor Emmett J Scanlan on the film Christian Blake. Eoin Macken, who plays Gwaine in BBC’s Merlin, and Emmett Scanlan who plays Brendan Brady in Hollyoaks worked together since they first began acting.

This was Eoin’s first feature film, made for a tuppence but it still got a DVD release in USA. Eoin & Emmett did a commentary which was too big to go on the Official DVD, so it’s finally here … Now is better than never …

Well, it’s what you’ve all been waiting for! Eoin has kindly replied back to the questions that you guys had asked; but with a twist! Instead of a written reply, Eoin has filmed his answers to the questions so without further ado … here is the video!

‘Merlin’s’ knights of the round table open up on favorite scenes, fan interactions, Tom Hopper’s arms, and what exactly Eoin Macken does to keep his hair looking so great.

“Let us not go to Camelot,” King Arthur famously said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “’tis a silly place.” If this is just as true of the Camelot of Merlin, this is almost entirely due to the resident knights of the round table — Adetomiwa Edun (Elyan), Tom Hopper (Percival), Eoin Macken (Gwaine), andRupert Young (Leon). The four of them were kind enough to host a “round table” (hyuck, hyuck, hyuck) phone interview and answer a few questions.

What do you most enjoy about your roles?
TH: I get to do quite a lot of physical stuff, which is a lot of fun … I get to do a lot of fighting and look cool with a sword, which is always a lot of fun.
AE: I’m right behind Tom when he says it’s a lot of fun getting stuff in with the action. You’ve got a couple of good ones in this season.
EM: This is Eoin speaking, and I concur.
RY: This is Rupert speaking. What does “concur” mean?

Is there anything in the upcoming episodes that the fans should be looking for that you would like them to see?
TH: You should probably look to see how many hair flicks Eoin Macken does in an episode.
EM: I think you should try to spot the episode where Tom wears anything on his arms. That would be epic.

You mean besides young children.
EM: Wow, you said that, not me!
