éanna hardwicke

Fast-rising and BAFTA-nominated Irish star Éanna Hardwicke (NORMAL PEOPLE) is set to play Manchester United and Ireland soccer legend Roy Keane in upcoming Irish feature SAIPAN. Hardwicke will be joined by two-time Oscar nominee Steve Coogan (PHILOMENA), who will star as Mick McCarthy, the former Ireland soccer manager with whom Keane had an infamous falling out. The film’s title comes from the infamous so-called “Saipan Incident” in 2002, when Keane was captaining the Irish national side ahead of the FIFA World Cup finals in Japan.
