Neeson and Farrell hailed by Mcqueen
Steve Mcqueen Oscar-winning director Steve Mcqueen has said he was “honoured” to work with Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson on his new film Widows.
The crime thriller is based on the 1980s ITV series of the same name from Prime Suspect creator Lynda La Plante.
It follows the widows of a gang of armed robbers who team up to finish the heist in which their husbands lost their lives.
Mcqueen told RTE: “Liam and Colin, they’re amazing actors, and they’ve been doing an amazing job in Hollywood for a very long time.
“I was honoured that I could work with them, especially in Chicago where there’s such a sort of Irish foundation.”
