December 10In a testament to his remarkable acting prowess, Andrew Scott has secured a Golden Globes nomination for his captivating performance in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, solidifying his reputation as one of the most versatile actors of his generation. Scott’s portrayal of Tom Ripley in the critically acclaimed series has earned him a well-deserved nomination in the Best Actor in a Limited Series or Television Film category. Based on Patricia Highsmith’s classic novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” the series offers a darker, more nuanced interpretation of the iconic character that Scott brings to life with extraordinary depth and complexity. Unlike previous adaptations, Scott’s Ripley is a study in psychological manipulation and quiet intensity. His performance strips away the charismatic veneer often associated with the character, instead revealing a more calculating and internally tormented individual. The nomination recognizes Scott’s ability to navigate the intricate psychological landscape of Tom Ripley, presenting a version of the character that is both chilling and uncomfortably human. The Golden Globes nomination is just one of many accolades for Scott’s performance. Critics have praised his ability to make Ripley simultaneously repulsive and magnetic, a challenging feat that requires immense acting skill. His nuanced portrayal transforms the character from a simple con artist into a complex psychological study of desire, class, and identity. For Andrew Scott, known for his memorable roles in ALL OF US STRANGERS, FLEABAG and BLACK MIRROR, this nomination represents a significant milestone. It underscores his range as an actor and his capacity to take on challenging, morally ambiguous characters with remarkable insight and subtlety. RIPLEY, directed by Steven Zaillian, has been lauded for its atmospheric black-and-white cinematography and Scott’s mesmerizing central performance. The series reimagines Highsmith’s narrative with a fresh, contemporary psychological depth that has resonated with both critics and audiences.   KNEECAP dominates BIFA AwardsirishfilmtvDecember 9, 2024The Irish-language film KNEECAP has made history at the 27th British Independent Film Awards (BIFA), securing seven prestigious awards, including the coveted Best British Independent Film.

December 9The Irish-language film KNEECAP has made history at the 27th British Independent Film Awards (BIFA), securing seven prestigious awards, including the coveted Best British Independent Film. The film, which dominated the ceremony at London’s Roundhouse, arrived with an impressive 14 nominations and emerged as the night’s standout success. The movie, based on a semi-fictionalised account of the west Belfast rap trio’s formation, garnered additional accolades including Best Debut Screenwriter for Rich Peppiatt and Best Joint Lead for the trio’s members Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh. Originally formed in 2017 by three friends using stage names Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, the group has been known for their politically-charged lyrics and controversial approach. The film’s origin traces back to 2019 when director Rich Peppiatt was inspired after watching the group perform in Belfast. Set in west Belfast in 2019, KNEECAP offers a dramatised, comedic exploration of the group’s beginnings, with Peppiatt describing it as “definitely more controversial than the usual movies that come out of Northern Ireland.” The film’s multiple BIFA wins represent a significant milestone for Irish-language cinema and the group’s artistic journey.

December 6Amid rumors of a potential HARRY POTTER TV adaptation, Cillian Murphy finds himself at the center of speculation about playing Voldemort – while simultaneously juggling an impressive lineup of high-profile projects. Ralph Fiennes, the original Voldemort in the HARRY POTTER film series, has enthusiastically endorsed Murphy for the role. “Cillian is a fantastic actor,” Fiennes told Watch What Happens Live, calling the potential casting “a wonderful suggestion.” Murphy’s packed schedule includes an upcoming zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER, Danny Boyle’s return to his iconic zombie franchise. The film, scheduled for release on June 20, 2025, will also feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer, reuniting Murphy with Fiennes. He’s also preparing for the PEAKY BLINDERS film, continuing his journey as Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed crime series that made him a household name. While negotiations are still early for the potential HARRY POTTER villain role, Murphy’s experience playing antagonists – including Scarecrow in the BATMAN films and a terrorist in RED EYE – makes him an intriguing potential choice for Voldemort. The proposed HBO series is expected to be a fresh adaptation of the beloved books, with no plans to include the original film’s cast members like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or Rupert Grint. With his versatility and proven track record of compelling performances, Murphy continues to be one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, seamlessly moving between intense dramatic roles and potential franchise entries.

December 5Saoirse Ronan’s latest movie THE OUTRUN is now available to watch from home. Based on a memoir by Amy Liptrot about addiction and recovery, Saoirse Ronan delivers a touching and powerful performance as Rona, a young woman returning home to the Orkney Islands of Scotland attempting to restore her life. Ronan does not rely on showy exaggeration or wild swings for her craft. Her most acclaimed roles — in FOE  and LITTLE WOMEN — all feel, at least from the outside, as if they tap into some part of her real self. All four are intelligent and perceptive and plucky and just a little innocent, in need of some hard-knock wisdom. Yet they’re all indelible, and all very different from one another: girls and women for whom life is a good, hard mystery to be lived and then understood. The director Nora Fingscheidt wrote the screenplay for THE OUTRUN with Amy Liptrot, based on Liptrot’s 2016 memoir. In the film, Liptrot has been transformed into Rona, a 29-year-old woman who, when we first meet her, has a black eye, having been nearly defeated by life. She’s from a tiny village in the Orkney Islands, which lie off the northern coast of Scotland. Rona went to London to earn a graduate degree in biology, where she met friends and a man she loved. But a latent propensity for addiction turned into a full-blown alcoholic spiral, and she wrecked her life completely.

December 3Pierce Brosnan is set to headline a gripping new crime series for Paramount+, stepping into the role of Conrad Harrigan, the patriarch of a powerful Irish crime family based in London. The upcoming drama will see Brosnan starring alongside Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren in a global crime narrative that promises high-stakes drama and intense family dynamics. In this Guy Ritchie-created series, Brosnan will portray Conrad Harrigan, the formidable head of a criminal empire with international reach. His character will be married to Maeve Harrigan, played by Helen Mirren, creating a power couple at the center of the story. Tom Hardy rounds out the principal cast as Harry Da Souza, a professional conciliator working directly for the Harrigan family. The project, currently untitled and set to debut in 2025, represents a return to Brosnan’s dramatic roots. Known for his iconic roles in James Bond and various thriller films, the actor continues to demonstrate his range by diving into another complex criminal narrative. Originally conceived as a RAY DONOVAN spin-off and briefly titled THE ASSOCIATE, the series has evolved into a promising global crime drama. Paramount+ executives are enthusiastic about the project, with Chris McCarthy praising the combination of exceptional talent both in front of and behind the camera. The series is expected to deliver high-caliber acting and intense storylines that showcase Brosnan’s continued ability to command the screen in compelling dramatic roles. While details remain limited, the involvement of Guy Ritchie — known for his gritty London crime narratives like THE GENTLEMEN — suggests a series that will blend intricate storytelling with explosive action.

December 2Two groundbreaking television series set in Northern Ireland have captured critical acclaim, making the New York Times Best TV Shows of 2024 list and offering powerful narratives that explore the region’s complex historical and contemporary landscape. Disney’s SAY NOTHING, adapted from Patrick Radden Keefe’s bestselling book, delivers a gripping narrative deeply rooted in the historical context of the Troubles. The show provides an unflinching look at a dark period of Northern Irish history, examining the human cost of prolonged conflict. TV Critic James Poniewozik praised the series as a “tough but enthralling work that traces old scars, revives bitter memories and measures a generational account of multiplying injustice.” The show stands out for its nuanced approach to storytelling, bringing the intricate layers of Northern Ireland’s painful past into sharp focus. Equally compelling is BLUE LIGHTS, a Belfast-based drama that offers a modern perspective on the ongoing reverberations of the Troubles. Created by Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn, the series follows PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) officers navigating the complex social and political landscape of contemporary Belfast. New York Times TV Critic Mike Hale highlighted the show’s profound exploration of historical trauma, noting that “The Troubles are alive in this Northern Irish crime drama, a legacy of damage, suspicion and hatred that threatens cops every time they step out of their cars.” The series distinguishes itself through its authentic portrayal of police work, blending familiar procedural elements with deep emotional nuance. Sian Brooke’s performance as a middle-aged rookie officer with social worker instincts has been particularly praised, bringing depth and humanity to the ensemble cast. Both SAY NOTHING and BLUE LIGHTS demonstrate the continued artistic vitality of Northern Irish storytelling, offering viewers sophisticated, layered narratives that go beyond simplistic representations of conflict and instead explore the human experiences that persist in its wake.

November 30In a landmark legal victory, Irish-language rap group Kneecap has triumphed in their discrimination case against former Conservative minister Kemi Badenoch, challenging her decision to deny them an arts grant. The controversy began when the group was initially shortlisted for a £14,250 grant from the Music Export Growth Scheme, which Badenoch blocked when she was business secretary. The proceedings took a theatrical turn when band member DJ Próvaí arrived at the courthouse in a repurposed RUC Land Rover, adorned with Palestinian and Irish flags, wearing his trademark tricolour balaclava. The UK’s Department of Business and Trade ultimately conceded that the original decision was “unlawful and procedurally unfair.” For Kneecap, the victory was never about the money. As the band stated, “This was an attack on artistic culture, an attack on the Good Friday Agreement itself, and on our way of expressing ourselves.” In a gesture of community solidarity, they announced they would donate the entire grant to two Belfast organizations: Glór na Móna and R-City Belfast. Known for their provocative and politically charged music, Kneecap has consistently challenged political narratives. Their band name references the Troubles-era paramilitary tactic of “knee-capping,” while their music often subverts republican tropes and criticizes British rule in Ireland.The case highlights tensions surrounding cultural expression and funding in Northern Ireland. The band argues that their music represents a cross-community belief that political institutions often ignore the needs of working-class communities on both sides of the divide. “They don’t like that we oppose British rule,” the band stated. “We believe that England doesn’t serve anyone in Ireland, and the working classes on both sides deserve better—deserve funding, appropriate mental health services, and the freedom to celebrate music and art.” Kneecap’s legal victory is more than a personal triumph. It’s a powerful affirmation of artistic freedom, cultural expression, and the principles of equality enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement.

November 29Michael Fassbender stars in Paramount+’s new spy drama THE AGENCY, playing Martian, a CIA operative returning from an extended assignment in Ethiopia. The series explores the psychological complexities of a long-time intelligence operative struggling to reintegrate into his previous life. Fassbender’s character is defined by profound emotional compartmentalization. Having been estranged from his daughter for six years and separated from a romantic relationship in Ethiopia, Martian represents a spy whose professional life has profoundly altered his personal identity. The actor delves into his character’s moral ambiguity, questioning how two decades in intelligence work have transformed Martian’s ethical boundaries. “What has the journey and the road done to him, and how has his moral compass been shifted?” Fassbender reflects, highlighting the character’s nuanced psychological landscape. Central to Fassbender’s portrayal is the blurred line between truth and deception. “Lies and truth have become so merged that it’s blurry,” he explains. “You can’t tell the difference… because everything is a lie and the truth.” THE AGENCY premieres Friday Nov 29 on Paramount+ with two episodes, followed by a linear network debut on Sunday at 9/8c.

November 28Barry Keoghan is set to take on one of his most high-profile roles yet, cast as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-part BEATLES biopic series. The project marks a significant milestone in Keoghan’s rapidly expanding career, which has seen him transition from indie darling to mainstream Hollywood sensation. Keoghan has been making waves in the music world beyond acting. He recently appeared in Sabrina Carpenter’s PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE music video and was featured in Fontaines D.C.’s music video for BUG, which used footage from Andrea Arnold’s film BIRD. Reflecting on these appearances, Keoghan told IndieWire, “I seem to be in music videos everywhere.” In what could be his most transformative role to date, Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ innovative film series. The project has already garnered significant attention, with Starr himself endorsing the casting. “I think it’s great,” Starr told Entertainment Tonight, adding a playful note about Keoghan potentially taking drum lessons. The ambitious film project will consist of four separate movies, each focusing on a different Beatles member. Mendes will direct all four films, which are set to “intersect” and tell the band’s story from multiple perspectives. The first installment is scheduled for a 2027 theatrical release. The casting comes with full life-story and music rights granted by Starr, Paul McCartney, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, highlighting the project’s significance. This role continues Keoghan’s impressive trajectory, following standout performances in critically acclaimed films like BANSHEES OF INISHERIN and SALTBURN. The BEATLES biopic represents another bold step for an actor known for taking on challenging and transformative roles. While details about the film are still emerging, with other potential castings like Paul Mescal still rumored, Keoghan’s involvement has already generated significant excitement. As Mendes stated, the project aims to “challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.” More Barry Keoghan Barry Keoghan PEAKY BLINDERS update CALM WITH HORSES on Netflix Barry Keoghan in BIRD MASTERS OF THE AIR on Apple TV+ Previous Next https://youtu.be/9N1QHUePOZg?si=XRi1X-W_hH3epciw Scott’s RIPLEY earns Golden Globes nominationirishfilmtvDecember 10, 2024In a testament to his remarkable acting prowess, Andrew Scott has secured a Golden Globes nomination for his captivating performance in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, solidifying his reputation as one of the most versatile actors of his generation.

November 27Irish actor Colin Farrell has thrown his support behind ROOM TAKEN, a poignant short film that explores themes of migration, loneliness, and human connection. Directed by TJ O’Grady-Peyton, the film has already qualified for the 2025 Academy Awards and features performances by Olivier and Tony Award-winning actress Bríd Brennan and newcomer Gabriel Adewusi. Farrell’s passionate endorsement highlights the film’s profound narrative, describing it as “a gentle cry to the power of human connection.” He was particularly moved by the film’s nuanced approach to complex social issues, praising its tender portrayal of immigrant experiences and elderly isolation. The short film tells the story of Isaac, an asylum seeker in Dublin, who finds an unexpected temporary home with Victoria, an elderly blind woman, without her knowledge. Their unexpected coexistence becomes a powerful exploration of compassion and community. Farrell’s involvement underscores his continued commitment to supporting Irish storytelling and amplifying important social narratives. The actor, fresh from critically acclaimed roles in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN and current projects like HBO’s THE PENGUIN and Apple TV+’s SUGAR, continues to champion meaningful, socially conscious storytelling. By executive producing ROOM TAKEN, Farrell aims to help the film reach a wider audience and draw attention to its powerful message of human empathy and connection.

November 26In his recent work, Cillian Murphy has increasingly gravitated towards roles that demand nuanced, introspective performances. SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE, a historical drama set in 1985 New Ross, Ireland, exemplifies Murphy’s approach to character portrayal – a method he describes as “acting in repose.” In the film, Murphy plays Bill Furlong, a coal merchant confronting the systemic abuse within a local convent. His performance is a masterclass in restrained emotion, with Murphy conveying profound internal conflict through minimal dialogue and powerful, understated expressions. Murphy’s insights into the character reveal a deep understanding of Irish masculinity during a repressive era. “These men retreated into themselves,” he explains, highlighting the cultural context of emotional suppression. The film’s exploration of the Magdalene laundries – institutions that housed and exploited women until 1996 – resonates deeply with Murphy, who was a child during this period of Irish social transformation. Shot entirely on location in New Ross, the film embraces authenticity. Murphy and his longtime collaborator Eileen Walsh portray a married couple, with the production using real houses and existing convent exteriors. This approach mirrors Murphy’s acting philosophy of creating space for audience interpretation. While this film represents a significant recent work, Murphy’s recent filmography has been marked by similarly nuanced performances. His portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s OPPENHEIMER further demonstrated his ability to embody complex historical figures with remarkable depth and restraint. Murphy’s career trajectory shows a consistent commitment to roles that require profound internal exploration, whether in period dramas, biographical films, or his long-standing collaboration with directors like Nolan in the PEAKY BLINDERS series. The actor’s approach to performance continues to challenge traditional narrative conventions, prioritizing emotional subtlety over verbal exposition and inviting audiences to engage more deeply with character psychology.

November 25Sharon Horgan, who created and stars in the BAFTA-winning black comedy BAD SISTERS, recently discussed her career evolution on THE LATE LATE SHOW with Patrick Kielty. The show’s second season is currently airing, with Horgan admitting to some nervousness about the Irish audience’s reaction despite the first season’s success. As both creator and star, Horgan faces unique challenges with BAD SISTERS’ second season. While writing entirely original material proved demanding compared to the first season’s adaptation from the Flemish series CLAN, she found herself deeply connected to the characters she had developed. The new season takes a darker turn, particularly in its second episode, as Horgan aimed to explore the realistic aftermath of abusive relationships. This focus on complex, challenging narratives has become a hallmark of Horgan’s work. The Co Meath-raised creative force has built an impressive portfolio over the past decade, including acclaimed series like PULLING, CATASTROPHE, DIVORCE, and MOTHERLAND. Her on-screen presence has also grown, with notable appearances in films such as GAME NIGHT and DATING AMBER. Despite her late start in the industry at age 36 with PULLING, which she co-wrote with Dennis Kelly, Horgan has established herself as a powerhouse in television creation and performance. Initially attributing her success to “lucky breaks” – including her collaboration with Rob Delaney on CATASTROPHE – she now acknowledges her achievements while maintaining her characteristic humility, shaped by her upbringing on a turkey farm. Her current success, she notes, comes from years of “constantly hustling” in the industry.

November 22Saoirse Ronan takes a walk down memory lane as she re-watches scenes from her classic works. Between 2020 and 2024, Ronan’s film career continued to demonstrate her versatility as an actor. She appeared in AMMONITE alongside Kate Winslet in 2020, playing Charlotte Murchison in the historical drama. In 2022, she took on a lighter role in SEE HOW THEY RUN as Constable Stalker, starring opposite Sam Rockwell in the 1950s-set murder mystery comedy. The year 2024 has proved particularly significant for Ronan’s career, featuring in three notable films: THE OUTRUN, FOE (a science fiction thriller with Paul Mescal), and BLITZ, which releases on Apple TV+ on November 22, 2024. Both THE OUTRUN and BLITZ have generated considerable awards buzz. THE OUTRUN also marked an important milestone as Ronan’s first venture into production, which she undertook alongside her husband Jack Lowden. Speaking to Digital Spy about this new role, she described it as “exactly what I needed,” explaining that it helped her “think about the bigger picture” and allowed her to focus her energy on working with others in a different capacity. If Ronan receives Oscar nominations for either THE OUTRUN or BLITZ, it would mark her fifth nomination (potentially sixth if nominated for both). This would add to her impressive track record of Academy recognition, which began with her breakthrough role in ATONEMENT, for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

November 21BRING THEM DOWN is a gripping Irish thriller from director Chris Andrews that has been making waves on the festival circuit. Following successful screenings at TIFF, Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, and London Film Festival, the movie promises a complex exploration of family, conflict, and generational trauma. The film delves into the life of an Irish shepherding family caught in multiple battles: internal family tensions, external rivalries with neighboring farmers, and deeper psychological struggles. The narrative transcends simple good versus evil dynamics, instead offering a nuanced examination of human motivations through a distinctly Irish cultural lens. TIFF praised the film for its sophisticated storytelling, noting how it “bristles with twists and tension,” transforming pastoral landscapes into sites of escalating conflict. The festival highlighted the exceptional performances of Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, who “share an incredible ability to reveal what their characters are hell-bent on hiding.” The ensemble cast includes Barry Keoghan, Christopher Abbott, Colm Meaney, Nora-Jane Noone, Paul Ready, Aaron Heffernan, and Susan Lynch. Barry Keoghan has been on an impressive cinematic journey in recent years, solidifying his reputation as one of Ireland’s most compelling actors. Following his breakout role in THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (2017), Keoghan has consistently chosen challenging and unconventional projects. His recent career highlights include an Oscar-nominated performance in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN (2022), a memorable supporting role as the Joker in THE BATMAN (2022), and a provocative turn in the psychological thriller SALTBURN (2023). These roles have demonstrated his remarkable range and commitment to complex, character-driven narratives. BRING THEM DOWN appears to continue Keoghan’s trend of selecting thought-provoking films that challenge audience expectations. With its compelling premise, strong critical buzz, and Keoghan’s involvement, the film is definitely one to watch for in upcoming festival and theatrical releases.

November 20Two of Hollywood’s most respected actors shared a touching moment at the 25th annual Irish Arts Center Gala, where Liam Neeson (ABSOLUTION), an honorary chair of the New York City-based center, presented his dear friend Meryl Streep with the Spirit of Ireland Award. Their friendship, which blossomed after co-starring in the 1996 film , BEFORE AND AFTER, has endured for decades. In accepting the honor (previously bestowed on Stephen Colbert), Streep, the most Oscar-nominated actor in history with 21 nominations and three wins, delved into her rich Irish heritage. She traced her lineage to her great-great-grandmother Grace Strain, who was born in County Donegal in the 1830s. Grace’s journey took her to Philadelphia at age 14, where she met her husband Manus McFadden, eventually leading to the family’s settlement in New Jersey, where Streep was born. The award ceremony highlighted not only Streep’s impressive career but also her ongoing connection to Irish arts. She recalled her previous support of Irish culture, including her participation in a fundraising event for a Belfast arts center during the filming of MAMMA MIA in 2007.

November 19In a revealing new interview with ELLE magazine, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan shares lots of personal details. Ronan stands at a fascinating turning point in her career, taking on roles that challenge her accessible image. Her latest venture, THE OUTRUN, sees her not only starring but stepping into a producer role alongside her husband, Jack Lowden. The film, based on a memoir, pushed Ronan to explore the complex territory of addiction recovery – a subject that hits close to home. “Addiction touched my life through people I love,” she reveals, her voice softening. “You start with anger, with this impossible question: ‘Why can’t they just stop?’ But gradually, you learn to see it as the illness it truly is.” She pauses, considering her words carefully. “Taking on this role became my way of processing that journey, of understanding what I couldn’t before.” This introspective project runs parallel to her work in Steve McQueen’s BLITZ, a World War II drama that strips away the polished veneer of historical cinema. As a mother to a biracial child in war-torn London, Ronan confronts the uglier truths of British society during the Blitz – the racism that persisted even as bombs fell. The role marked several firsts: her debut as an on-screen mother and her first time performing musical numbers, for which she underwent intensive vocal training. There’s a newfound boldness in how Ronan approaches her craft these days. “I used to worry about looking pretty, about staying within the lines,” she admits, deliberately contorting her face to make a point. “Now? I’m more interested in the mess, in the uncomfortable moments that make characters real.” The conversation shifts to her upcoming directorial debut, a short film she’s writing. Her eyes light up when discussing how Greta Gerwig’s evolution from actor to filmmaker has inspired her own ambitions behind the camera. Yet there’s a touch of playful regret when she mentions missing out on BARBIE, alongside her frequent co-star Timothée Chalamet, due to scheduling conflicts. She laughs about it now: “We’re like jealous siblings, watching our favorite director make magic without us.” At 29, Ronan has already spent two decades in front of the camera, but she’s clearly just getting started. Her trajectory suggests an artist increasingly willing to push boundaries, whether through producing, directing, or taking on roles that scrape away at her comfortable image as cinema’s approachable ingenue.
