Variety: 2 ipos? Irish shingle Parallel Pictures is bringing together the cream of Irish film talent for a brace of projects.
Posted by: Catzan on Sep 02, 20:20
First up is an adaptation of Irish author Flann O'Brien's seminal metaphysical novel "At Swim-Two-Birds." Irish thesp Brendan Gleeson will make his directorial debut with the pic, a coming-of-age tale about a 19-year-old student who sees the fictional characters in the play he's writing intertwining with the people in his life. Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy and Gabriel Byrne have all boarded the $11 million project. Gleeson adapted the book for the screen and will also co-star. [BGLEE] [CFARR] [CMURP] [GBYRN]
Parallel topper Alan Moloney is also producing "The Virgin of Las Vegas" with U2 frontman Bono. Liam Neeson is attached to star in the $14 million project, which affectionately recalls the Irish pop culture phenomenon of show bands. Show bands, which became popular across Ireland before the onslaught of TV, used to play cover songs in the early days of rock 'n' roll and amassed large followings across the country. Neeson will play an aging show band singer, prone to drink and living in Vegas, who finds his life turned on its head following the arrival of a mysterious stranger. Barry Devlin is penning the script. [LNEES]
