Apple TV+ has announced a series order for SUGAR, a new genre-bending series hailing from creator and executive producer Mark Protosevich with Colin Farrell attached to executive produce and star in the lead role. SUGAR becomes Farrell’s latest TV role following HBO anthology TRUE DETECTIVE. Exact plot details for the show remain under wraps, aside from the fact that it is described as a genre-bending contemporary take on the private detective story set in Los Angeles.
From THE LOBSTER to IN BRUGES, Colin Farrell’s indie filmography features some of his best movies. His first couple of movies in Hollywood were not commercially successful either, but eventually he began to appear in larger and more profitable films. However, the hidden gems in Farrell’s filmography are within his body of work in the independent film scene. Farrell has starred in a wide variety of arthouse and independent movies, working with directors like Sofia Coppola and Yorgos Lanthimos. With an eclectic mix of period, thriller, and comedies, Farrell’s career is impressive in terms of its depth.
Castleknock’s own, Colin Farrell, who is starring in THE BATMAN, will portray the DC Comics villain The Penguin in a limited spin-off series for the US streaming service HBO Max. As well as starring in the TV series, Farrell will also serve as an executive producer, alongside Matt Reeves. The Penguin is one of the most famous villains from the Batman comics and the character is known for his top hat, monocle, and multiple lethal umbrellas.
Whoever said becoming the Penguin would be easy? Veteran actor Colin Farrell, who certainly looks nothing like the traditional depiction of Oswald Cobblepot in Batman lore, will be starring as the supervillain in Matt Reeves’ upcoming film THE BATMAN. What has gotten many surprised by the sneak peek photos is how Farrell is completely unrecognizable in makeup as the Penguin to the point where most people probably wouldn’t even know that it’s him. Fans can see Farrell in the role when THE BATMAN is released on March 4, 2022.
Colin Farrell is set to star in an upcoming Apple TV detective series, according to entertainment website Deadline. The Irish actor is also set to serve as executive producer for the series, which is currently going by the working title SUGAR. Described as “an LA-set, contemporary take on the private detective story,” sources say the streaming service were involved in “a heated auction” to get the rights to produce the show. It has been reported that they were in a final battle with Netflix for the new drama.
One of the best Irish movies ever made has just been added to Netflix. Released in 2017 and co-produced by Element Pictures and Screen Ireland, the psychological horror-thriller THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER reunited Colin Farrell with Yorgos Lanthimos, the director of The Lobster.
Colin Farrell stars in VOYAGERS, now streaming on Amazon Prime. Thirty children are sent into space on a multi-generational mission to reach a newly discovered planet. When the one adult on board is killed, the young crew descends into chaos, reverting to their most primitive state of being.
