Gleeson: Film plans will collapse if Bord Snip implemented

AWARD-WINNING actor Brendan Gleeson has warned a multi-million euro film he plans to shoot here next year will collapse if An Bord Snip Nua recommendations about the Irish Film Board are implemented.

And he said the country had already missed out on the new $200 million Robin Hood blockbuster because the production team did not have certainty on costs.

Mr Gleeson plans to begin shooting his directorial pet project – a long-awaited adaptation of Flann O’Brien’s At Swim Two Birds – next spring.
