''The Rocket Post'' is a 2004 British drama film directed by Stephen Whittaker and starring Ulrich Thomsen, Shauna Macdonald, Kevin McKidd and Patrick Malahide. It is set on a remote Scottish island during the late 1930s. The arrival of German rocket scientist Gerhard Zucker is not initially welcomed by the inhabitants of the island. The film was shot in 2001, but its release was delayed by several years.〔http://www.moviescoremedia.com/rocketpost.html〕 Additional footage was shot in 2005, and the film was given a limited release in Scotland the following year. The story is very loosely based on experiments in 1934 by the German inventor Gerhard Zucker to provide a postal service to the island of Scarp by rocket mail.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/A17606540〕 Another fictionalised account of the experiment formed the basis of a 2001 film, also called ''The Rocket Post'', which was filmed on Taransay.〔("The Rocket Post (2001)" ) Film Hebrides.
