'Dragnet' director Steven Hudson and the movies' producers at Samson Films are said to be “delighted” that Mullan has agreed to take Carlyle’s lead role in the drama on short notice. He now joins fellow cast members Gary Lewis (Billy Elliott), and Martin Compston (Monarch of the Glen) on set in Co. Wicklow.
Peter Mullan previously directed and starred in the 2002 Irish feature ‘The Magdalene Sisters’ and was most recently seen in the award winning Scottish feature ‘On A Clear Day’.
