Roeg to make film in Armagh-Monaghan border

Legendary film director Nicolas Roeg is set to film the Fay Weldon novel Puffball early next year along the Armagh-Monaghan border … and he’s being joined by top Hollywood stars, Donald Sutherland and Samantha Morton.

The €4m film will be produced by Michael Garland’s Dublin-based Grand Pictures and Weldon’s son Dan, who has written the screenplay.
