Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt Win 'Five Minutes of Heaven'
Filed under: Drama, Independent, Casting, Cinematical Indie
The part of me that loves strange premises is having daydreams of Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt (Match Point) getting to grab each other's hands, giggly with giddy glee, whilst running off for five minutes of heaven in some closet somewhere. Sure, it should be seven minutes, but still, this title makes me think of teenage forays into kissing, not the serious themes that it's actually about.Variety reports that both actors have signed on for a new film called Five Minutes of Heaven, and it's about the troubles in Northern Ireland -- not exactly prepubescent romantic fare. Under the eye of director Oliver Hirschbiegel (The Invasion), the film focuses on "two men wracked by the violence that plagued Northern Ireland from the late 1960s through to the peace process in 1998, and how they attempt to come to terms with the Troubles' aftermath."
The project is currently filming on location in Northern Ireland.

great to see these big stars returning to do films about their home country norn iron. apparently the young alistair(liam neeson is playing alistair) is being played by mark davison, an inexperienced budding talent who, from what ive heard, will go far
