Hollywood star plans new project in home county

Movie star Michael Fassbender pitched a film proposal involving Kerry to Arts and Heritage Minister Jimmy Deenihan at the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin last weekend.

The Hollywood actor, who won an IFTA Best Actor award on Saturday, is currently developing a scrip that may be at least partially filmed in the county.

According to Minister Deenihan, the high-profile star is due to contact him later this year in relation to the project.

“He hopes to film some of it in Kerry. I don’t know what it is, but Kerry would be used as a location,” he said.

“The script is being developed at present, and it relates to Kerry. He is very positively disposed towards promoting Kerry.”

The new Fassbender project would be in addition to the upcoming production of Brendan Gleeson’s At Swim Two Birds, which is also expected to be partially filmed in Kerry.
