to get a first-hand account of why they’re so passionate about the project. The quartet talk about how they’re positioning the $18M indie film in Cannes next week and why the story is not just about Irish gangsters but rather a more layered exploration of modern masculinity driven by strong female characters. Kevin’s [Barry] incredible writing was the starting point. He is just one of the finest writers we have and his characters are so textured and compelling. It was irresistible.
I just fell in love with it. It was a real joy to read and it seemed very cinematic. But also when I was reading it, I kept thinking of Michael as Maurice. Conor [Fassbender’s producing partner] and I have known each other for some time and I immediately sent it to Conor and he had Michael both had the same response to the book I had, which was great.
One of the real joys of developing this has been how smooth it has been. I think it’s harder to adapt a book that you really love than it is something that you quite like because you’re trying to capture all of the things you love about him. But throughout it, there’s never been a disagreement between any of us about what we love about it.
It’s about people running out of options and so what they are trying to do is to try and reach the only good thing they ever had in their lives emotionally which is their daughter.The men are lost and the women are calling the shots throughout this story and I think it’s so important, especially now, that we continue to examine and interrogate our traditional notions of masculinity.
We did a schedule that is looking like seven weeks in Spain and a week in Ireland. It is, mostly as James said at the beginning, more of a road movie in Spain. There’s a chunk in Ireland but the majority takes place in Spain. We’re still trying to pin down our dates but we’re hoping to start shooting before the end of the year.
