Liam Neeson Gets "Five Minutes in Heaven"

Famed Northern Ireland actor Liam Neeson lists a plethora of pro-Irish and Irish-centric roles on his resume, ranging from The Gangs of New York to Michael Collins. The actor has never been afraid to display his national pride and continues the tradition by taking another Irish part, this time in Five Minutes of Heaven. Fellow Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt has also been cast in the picture.

Neeson and Nesbitt will portray two men embroiled in the violent conflicts between the Republic and Loyalist groups in Northern Island that lasted from the 1960s through 1998 before the two sides finally found their way towards peaceful resolve. Production and release dates have not been released.
