Element Films' new production, Omagh, starts filming in Dublin on December 1. The film is co-produced and written by Paul Greengrass, whose previous film 'Bloody Sunday' starring James Nesbitt, won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. Ed Guiney of Element Films is producing, and Andrew Lowe, also from Element Films, and Arthur Lapping (Hell's Kitchen) are executive producers. The film is directed by Pete Travis (Cold Feet, Henry VIII), and stars Gerard McSorley as the father of a victim of the bombing.
Executive Producer Andrew Lowe told The Ticket that "the film deals with the families' struggle for justice and coming to terms with the perpetrators of the crime."
