We may be small, but we have some fierce talent here in Ireland.
In recent years, the number of actors coming from our shores has exploded. And we’ve been cheering them on as they’ve waved the tricolour around the globe.
Now, House of Guinness star Danielle Galligan has landed a role in an upcoming Irish film, Landlines which promises to be one we won’t want to miss.
She will star alongside Arracht star Dónall Ó Héalaí, The Dry’s Moe Dunford and Olwen Fouéré, who is best known for his work on The Northman.
Landlines is the debut feature film from writer and director Tristan Heanue, which is currently in production in Connemara.
The synopsis reads: “Landlines is an intimate rural drama about family, inheritance and the devastating consequences of broken promises. James Moran (Dónall Ó Héalaí) has spent his life working the family farm, on the promise that one day it would be his.
“But after the sudden death of his father, ownership of the land falls to his mother, Annie (Olwen Fouéré), whose decision to divide the farm between James and his estranged brother, Thomas (Moe Dunford), shatters the future James had imagined with his wife, Katie (Danielle Galligan). As resentment turns to obsession, his determination to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his, threatens to tear his family apart.”
Landlines is due to be released in 2027.
