Steve Coogan & Éanna Hardwicke in 'Saipan' Football Rivalry Film Trailer

"This has been shambles after shambles." Vertigo Releasing in the UK has debuted the full official trailer for a film titled Saipan, ready for release in January in the UK. This Irish film made by filmmakers Lisa Barros D'Sa & Glenn Leyburn tells a very Irish story about an epic sports rivalry back in 2002. Not everyone will be so familiar this story over the in US, but the film still looks like a worthwhile watch anyway. On the eve of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the Irish soccer/football team captain Roy Keane forfeits his place in the squad at the team's base in Saipan, after a heated disagreement with the Irish manager Mick McCarthy. This is the thrilling story of their infamous confrontation and what happened next. The upcoming movie stars Éanna Hardwicke as Roy and Steve Coogan as Mick, with Alice Lowe, Jamie Beamish, Alex Murphy, and Harriet Cains. This looks damn good! Reminds me of Next Goal Wins, but much more serious and with way more creativity & ingenuity in the filmmaking. Some very cool shots in here. A little rivalry representing so many other issues. Yep I really want to watch this even though I don't know much about this rivalry at all. // Continue Reading ›
