Ecstasy is a 2008 film based on the story The Undefeated from Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance by Irvine Welsh, a sly, subtle romance between a young woman dissatisfied with the confines of her suburban life and an aging clubgoer. Welsh's narration imbued both characters with surprising warmth, and the story avoided easy, pro-ecstasy conclusions. Following adaptation into a stage play, a film version of the third novella is in production. The film, directed by Rob Heydon featuring Erica Durance, Billy Boyd, Richard E Grant, Jenni Falconer, Karen Dunbar,and Elize Du Toit among the principal actors.

The filming will take place in 2008 in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland. The film is a Canada/UK co-production.
