Gleeson and Murphy reunite as gangster flick gets ready to roll

A COMEDY thriller starring Brendan Gleeson and Cillian Murphy is set to begin filming in Dublin next month.

Written by Irish screenwriter Mark O’Rowe and directed by Ian Fitzgibbon, whose latest film A Film With Me In It, is currently on release, Perrier’s Bounty will revolve around three unlikely fugitives on the run from a gangster kingpin. In it, Gleeson will play the title character of Perrier, a Dublin gangster desperate to retain his pride and his illegal earnings after the accidental death of one of his loyal lackeys.

Cork-born Murphy will play his arch-nemesis and is one of three fugitives on the run from Perrier.
