ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief spoke with In The Land of Saints and Sinners star Liam Neeson. The Irish acting legend spoke about his talented co-stars, the film’s dark themes, and reflected on Nell’s 30th anniversary. In The Land of Saints and Sinners is out in theaters on March 29 from Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Getting to film this on Irish soil, how much did that kind of add into this experience? Because obviously such a great Irish cast and this is such an Irish story as well. Certainly, in the seventies and in the north of Ireland, it was a very, very turbulent period. Very violent period too. So the topography of Donegal seemed to add to that, you know?
You mentioned Ciaran Hinds. I read that he said you were cooking for him every night on set. Are you a big cook? It’s lovely. It really is. It’s like you know, as I say, he is my dearest friend. Sometimes, not Ciaran, because he’s too professional, but sometimes I crack up laughing a bit. Just because I’m so enjoying myself acting with him, you know what I mean?
Yeah, True Detective. She’s in Nyad recently too. She’s just really getting a lot of appreciation, which is great to see.
