Fassbender pitches Kingdom as location for Cúchulainn movie

Kerry could be the location for a Hollywood blockbuster based on the life and adventures of mythological hero Cúchulainn.

A film production company co-owned by celebrated Killarney actor Michael Fassbender is working on a script charting the story of the Celtic warrior whose legendary exploits earned him the title of the Hound of Ulster.

Fassbender has already pitched a Kerry film proposal to Arts Minister Jimmy Deenihan, and they held preliminary, informal talks on the project when they met at the recent Iftas in Dublin.
