Wayfaring Strangers

[Cait]

That is such bad news. I was looking forward to this one, even if it didn't excite me as much as some of Cillian's other upcoming projects, I think he does so well in war movies - he has so much emotion. It's a shame they ran into financial issues, but I suppose that's life sometimes.

I was really looking forward to watching Cillian and Sheehan in the same movie

[Irish_Lover]

This one had completely passed me by and i'm so saddened to see it's hit such difficulties

I am a huge fan of Robert Sheehan (seriously, who doesn't love that man, it's impossible not to!) and to see him and Cillian together would have been amazing. But alas, at this point, it wasn't meant to be.

I will now go back to clinging to my wavering hope that At Swim Two Birds will get off the ground sometime soon...

I actually found some info in this interview with Craig Roberts

Have you seen "Martha Marcy May Marlene"?
Yeah I did, she's really good in that. I think she's going to have a big career. But I made really good friends with Cillian [Murphy] on it, I think we're going to do another movie together, a World War II movie. I mean I can never take anything seriously so it will probably be like "Tropic Thunder."

That in itself would be fantastic. So a war film with Cillian Murphy?
Yeah I think that may go this year which will be pretty cool. It was supposed to go last year, in summertime, but it went through with funding, you know how independent movies are, so it's going this year.

Has the film got a title?
"Wayfaring Strangers." And I've got some stuff coming out with, you know Funny or Die? The TV show I'm writing, they liked the stuff, so that should come out pretty soon.

So is it a go this time? And is it gonna be a comedy? I'm confused.

It seems it's a go, or it's at least a possibility.
As for the "comedy" part, I think Craig was just joking
As far as I know it's a thriller about some mysterious prisoners during WW2 in France. I might be wrong.
As for Craig, gee I cannot wipe his John Reed from my head. He played the nasty brat quite well in Jane Eyre, I wanted to punch him in the nose ;D

[ashleyrose09]

Oh, OK. lol Yeah I'd kind of forgotten what it was about.

I really hope this film does go forward! thanks for finding that interview Leyla!
