Quinn signs up for two more films

Aidan Quinn, whose recent controversial TV drama series The Book of Daniel was cancelled after religious protests after just eight shows, is moving on.

He's just signed to star in a true-life drama about a student who reacts violently when school politics rob him of a major prize alongside Blair Brown, Liu Ye and Meryl Streep.

And he's also hoping for a lead role in the Irish planned 32A.

His sister Marian will direct.
