Beloved Manx movie gets French remake

A French remake of one of the Isle of Man's most famous films has flopped at the box office.

À l'ancienne, released last September, is a remake of Waking Ned - which was shot on the Island in 1998.

The Island's version about a village that conspires to keep a lottery win after the ticket owner dies scored 7.3 out of 10 on website IMDB - but the French version has managed a rating of just 4.4.

And although the remake had a budget of around £5.2 million, it's earned just £1.3 million in box office receipts since its release.
