Clive Owen, Gillian Anderson and Andrea Riseborough join the cast of James Marsh's Untitled IRA Thriller!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Vulture is reporting that Clive Owen has joined James Marsh's IRA thriller, previously titled Shadow Dancer and currently flying under the Untitled banner.
Most know Marsh's documentary work with his great Man On Wire and his just as great recent Sundance success Project Nim, but he also directed both The King and the second Red Riding installment (which is a fantastic series, by the way... if you haven't seen the Red Riding films hit up your Netflix. It's on Watch Instant).
I love me some Clive Owen, especially when he's in a gritty fucked up universe, which Marsh promises this film will be, calling it a genre film and a thriller in his chat with Vulture.
Never Let Me Go's Andrea Riseborough, X-Files' Gillian Anderson and The Wire's Aidan Gillen have also joined the project. I have a feeling this is one to put on the radar and watch for. What do you folks think?

FIRST! I've never been first at anything!

Interesting, might give this a look :)

Is awesome. He should have played James Bond. Why don't they cast him and Gerard Butler in the second Expendables? They're better than Randy Couture & Steve Austin.

i used to have such a crush.

Americans making films about Ireland or the IRA often ( in the past) have been fuckin' hideous.....<BR><BR> Still, this might be good, and the fact that Aidan Gillen is attatched is promising .<BR><BR> One of my favorite "IRA" films is "The Crying Game" , that was the shit....

And Marsh will forever have my respect for MAN ON WIRE.

Gillian Anderson is living in England, I think. You can see her on the BBC.

I think it was her jaw. Which is an odd thing for a woman to have done but it looks fucked up in the second X-Files movie.

Gillian Anderson is always worth watching. She was great as Lady Dedlock in the BBC's 'Bleak House'.
-
She kinda ran off to England to be British.

In my bed, along with Mariska Hargitay. According to my all-time favorite dream.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. IT MIGHT HELP TO KNOW WHAT THE STORY IS.

I'd really caught up on IRA movies in recent months, since visiting Ireland last year. Saw Michael Collins, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and 40 Dead Men Walking, so I'm totally down with another one. But I'm a little bit leery of a British-made IRA film. As long as it's not a whitewash of history, sounds good to me.

means I will watch any movie he makes.
