If Cillian Murphy's track record is anything to go by, Small Things Like These will be another exquisite piece of cinema. The actor is set to star in the upcoming adaptation of celebrated Irish writer Claire Keegan's 2021 novella of the same name, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Orwell Prize for political writing.
Starring alongside Eileen Walsh (The Children Act), Emily Watson (Chernobyl), Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones) and Clare Dunne (The Last Duel), Murphy will play Bill Furlong, a coal merchant father of five daughters in Catholic Ireland in 1985.
