Irish stars in heavenly roles

By Grainne McLoughlin

Two of Ireland’s most celebrated talents are set to star in a new film together.

Hollywood handsomes Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan are reported to star in an upcoming film called Seraphim Falls.

The “psychological action movie”, which is set during the American Civil War is expected to have Neeson playing an army colonel who tracks Brosnan’s character Gideon throughout the West in an ultimate bid to kill him.

The film — which is set to be shot in New Mexico next month — will mark David Von Acken’s first big screen directorial offering following a list of television credits including CSI:NY, The Shield and Without A Trace.

Brosnan took over the role, which was originally set for Richard Gere.
