Cillian Murphy and Max Porter on their new film collaboration 

The Cork actor has again teamed up with the author of Grief Is The Thing With Feathers, for a film project produced by Mary Hickson, with music from The National's Dessner brothers

Cillian Murphy, attending the Peaky Blinders Series Four premiere at Cineworld in Birmingham.

When Max Porter and Cillian Murphy first worked together, Murphy got so wired from performing that he couldn’t sleep. The project was a theatrical adaptation of Porter’s novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers, in which a grieving husband and father of two sons is repeatedly visited by a giant crow. 

Now, the pair have created All of This Unreal Time, a hybrid of film, music and installation. Neither has yet seen the final mix, but Porter says it’s going to be “f**king noisy”.
