Cork film may go global

TALKS to secure worldwide distribution rights for a movie shot in Cork are at an advanced stage following its premier in Cannes last week.

First-time movie director Mark Mahon, who shot Strength and Honour starring Vinny Jones, Michael Madsen and Richard Chamberlain in Cork earlier this year, said yesterday that his legal team were in negotiations with a number of major distribution companies following its world premier.

“We are very hopeful of striking a deal,” he said.
