Succession star Brian Cox is to make his feature directorial debut with Glenrothan - a Scottish whisky drama in which the 75-year-old will also play one of the lead roles.
The synopsis explains that Glenrothan "tells the story of two estranged brothers reuniting in the land of their birth".
"The last time they spoke was on the day of their mother's funeral when, following a violent exchange with their father, the younger of the two left their Highland home for America," it continues.
"Forty years later the brothers finally re-unite, back on Scottish soil and in the village that houses the family business: the Glenrothan Distillery."
"Glenrothan is my homage to the elements that make Scotland such an extraordinary country, where vibrancy and majesty of the land is [sic] expressed through passion and desire - balanced by the Scots' deep-rooted humour and grasp of the absurd," said Dundee-born Cox.
"I want to make a film, which combines all the elements, to show my own deep love for the homeland."
Cox has previously directed numerous theatre productions and an episode of the HBO prison drama Oz.
