Chris O’Dowd in SLUMBERLAND

Chris O'Dowd

Boyle’s-own Chris O’Dowd stars in the new animated movie SLUMBERLAND, now on Netflix. Joined by a larger-than-life outlaw, a daring young orphan journeys through a land of dreams to find a precious pearl that will grant her greatest wish. For O’Dowd, the film recreates the fun and excitement of our childhood days as he plays the awkward, loner, workaholic bachelor uncle Philip who is suddenly thrust into parenthood after his only brother, a fisherman, gets missing at sea and leaves a daughter, Nemo (played by Marlow Barkley), to the former’s care being the closest living relative.
