An all-star Irish supporting cast includes Jack Reynor, Poldark star Aidan Turner, Love/Hate's Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Can't Cope/Won't Cope scene-stealer Nika McGuigan. The film, Sheridan's first Irish project in over a decade, premiered to a mixed response at this year's Toronto Film Festival - an Irish release date remains TBC, although the film is tipped to screen at the Dublin Film Festival in February.

Last month, the veteran filmmaker unveiled The 11th Hour, an impromptu short film inspired by the US election campaign, starring Salma Hayek and based on a story by journalist Lise Hand. The film premiered at the Dublin Arabic Film Festival, programmed by Sheridan to showcase cinema from the Arab world.
