Jim Sheridan’s next film ‘The Great Storm’, which he will write and direct, will focus on the 1979 Fastnet Yacht Race tragedy and survivor Nick Ward’s account, ‘Left for Dead’, about the sea disaster that claimed 15 lives.

Ron Howard’s seafaring Hollywood epic ‘In The Heart of The Sea’ - the true story of a ship destroyed by a whale, that inspired ‘Moby Dick’ - has signed onboard Irish actors Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy and Sam Keeley.

‘Life’s A Breeze’ star Pat Shortt was already firmly established as one of Ireland’s best loved and most recognisable comedy actors - for roles in ‘Killinascully’, ‘Mattie’ and ‘Father Ted’ - when Lenny Abrahamson’s ‘Garage’ changed everything and set his career on a new trajectory.

If ‘Life’s A Breeze’ - Lance Daly’s new recession set comedy drama- proves itself one of the biggest Irish cinema highlights of the year, then much of its success will undoubtedly be attributed to newcomer Kelly Thornton.

‘Game of Thrones’ - HBO’s epic fantasy series based on the books by George R.R. Martin, has begun production on season 4 - with filming again taking place in Northern Ireland, Iceland and Croatia to cover the various landscapes of Westeros.

rish director Ruairi Robinson’s ‘Last Days on Mars’ - which screened as part of the prestigious Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival - has been picked up by US distribution company Magnet for a VOD release later this year.

‘Love/Hate’ - RTE’s biggest success story of recent years and winner of 13 IFTA awards - will give UK viewers the chance to experience the crime drama for themselves from 24th July, as season one begins on Channel 5.

Former Eastenders actor Ross Kemp - who won a Bafta for his 2006 series on gangs - is filming an episode of his Sky One programme ‘Extreme Worlds’ in Belfast, focusing on the political tensions surrounding planned Orange Order parades this week.

Gengon Media, the Dublin-based film and TV production house, have announced the appointment of Matt Richards as producer of their first feature film ‘Ninety Five’ - set to film in Dublin, Belfast and the West of Ireland in early September.

‘Trampoline’, a Nenagh-shot feature film by Tom Ryan about an English teacher in her 20’s, is currently in post-production with a view to being submitted to film festivals later this year.
