‘Borgias’ and ‘Byzantium’ boost Jordan’s cash pile

The cash pile at movie director Neil Jordan’s firm last year jumped by more than €400,000 to over €3m.

The feted director of Michael Collins and The Crying Game enjoyed a bumper year as accumulated profits at his Sunwind Enterprises vehicle last year increased by €432,000 — going from €1.889m to €2.32m.

The boost in the firm’s fortunes followed the 2013 release of Jordan’s Byzantium, starring Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton.
