Jamie Dornan has hinted at a new movie that will see him returning home to Northern Ireland for "a long time."
It comes after the Holywood man attended the Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, where 'Belfast' won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
He revealed that when it comes to future plans, he has "big plans to be home for a long time" as he has co-written a movie with fellow Northern Irish actor, Conor MacNeill.

Speaking to BBC NI, Jamie said: "I've written something with Conor MacNeill, another actor from Belfast, and we are planning on making our film at some point which will hopefully be at home.
"A lot of things have to fall in place and people have to give us money to make it happen. It'll happen when it's meant to happen."
Jamie Dornan also opened up on the impact of his dad's death as a result of coronavirus last March, and how advice he previously gave him has helped him cope with grief.
One of Northern Ireland's leading obstetricians, Professor Jim Dornan, was a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist for more than 40 years.
He said: "It's unimaginably difficult. Still, to be honest with you.
"I've had moments where I'm in denial about it, and I think I've just not stopped.
"We lost our mum 24 years ago and dad was so amazing saying: 'Your life isn't gonna stop for you. You can't be defined by something like this. You've got to keep keep going.'
"We're still heeding that advice now after my dad's death."
