Cillian Murphy has been making headlines for his outstanding performances. Recently, he won an Oscar for his role in "Oppenheimer" and there’s excitement around the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. Now, he’s in the spotlight again with his new film, "Small Things Like These." This Irish-Belgian co-production premiered at the Berlinale festival this year, earning rave reviews.
Lionsgate Picks Up Small Things Like These
"Small Things Like These," starring Cillian Murphy, is co-produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s company, Artists Equity. This film is also special because it marks Murphy’s debut as a producer through his company, Big Things Films, which he started with his friend Alan Maloney. Lionsgate will distribute the film in the US, UK, and Ireland. However, it's still unclear if it will be available on Lionsgate Play.
About the Film
Based on Claire Keegan’s Booker Prize-nominated book, "Small Things Like These" is set in 1980s Ireland. Murphy plays Bill, a coal delivery driver who is quiet and a loving father. He discovers some disturbing events at a local convent, led by Sister Mary, played by Emily Watson. The film delves into dark themes as Bill faces his inner demons. Emily Watson’s performance even won the Silver Bear award at the Berlinale festival.
Cillian Murphy’s Thoughts on the Film
Murphy expressed his joy about the film finding a home with Lionsgate. He said, “Small Things Like These is the first project from Big Things Films, and I’m thrilled that Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will bring it to audiences in Ireland, the US, and the UK. Making this film was a labor of love, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. We are incredibly grateful to Artists Equity for their support from the beginning.”
