Eve Hewson and Tom Burke have been cast to lead an upcoming film directed by Lenny Abrahamson, known for his work on "Room" and "Normal People." The film, which is currently untitled, is set within Dublin's Jewish community during the late 1970s. Newcomer Sean Meagher will also star in the project. The film is produced by Element Pictures, with Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe serving as producers alongside Catherine Magee and Abrahamson himself. Filming for the project is scheduled to begin on March 2 in Dublin. Abrahamson is reuniting with Element Pictures, with whom he has a long-standing collaborative relationship. The film is being distributed in the U.S. by A24, a company known for its focus on independent films. The announcement of the film comes as part of a broader trend of projects exploring diverse cultural narratives within Ireland. The involvement of A24 suggests a potential for significant distribution and visibility for the film upon its release. As of now, further details regarding the plot and additional cast members have not been disclosed. The film marks another significant project for both Hewson and Burke, who continue to build their filmographies under the direction of a critically acclaimed filmmaker.
