Well here's more on that film we reported on yesterday, though the title is changed. I really enjoyed THE GENERAL, and it seems this may cover the same period. Can't wait to see how it comes together...
Here is some information about 'Though the Sky May Fall'. Well for a start a number of changes have been made to both the name of the film and characters. The film is now called 'Heaven May Fall' and does star Joan Allen as 'Veronica Guerin'. A number of the characters (criminals) involved have recently had their names changed, the character that resembled a well known dublin criminal began as 'The Abbot' but has since become 'The Roadrunner' and most recently 'The Runner'. Remember the great John Borman film 'The General', well the General fretures in this film (small part) but in this film he is called 'The Commandant'.
A number of scenes for the film were shot last week on a street called 'Harry St'...cool or what!. As you know Joan Allen takes the leading role, but others involved include Dubliner Paul Ronan who played Brad Pitts IRA sidekick in 'Devils Own' and Liam Carney who featured in the commitments. Liam Carney is supposed to be playing a character thought to resemble John Gilligan (the criminal mind supposed to be behing Veronica Guerins Murder). Gilligan is currently in prison in England on drugs charges but is wanted in Ireland for Guerins Murder.
Anyway the film has been shooting around Dublin for a few weeks now and is due to wrap in 2 weeks.
If i hear any more about this or other films here i'll let ya know.
Oh Yea, before i go..Kevin Spacey was in dublin for 2 months before christmas filming 'Honest Decent Criminals', looks like Dublin is a favourite for crime films these days.
