Suspense Thriller To Beginning Shooting In Bruges

Academy Award-winning writer/director Martin McDonagh’s suspense thriller In Bruges will start an eight-week shoot on location in the Belgium city of Bruges on Monday 5 February.
In Bruges stars Colin Farrell (Miami Vice, Alexander) and Brendan Gleeson (The General and the Harry Potter movies). Rounding out the cast are European rising stars Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Jérémie Renier (L’Enfant) and American actor Jordan Prentice (Weirdsville). Two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes will appear in a key supporting role.
Martin McDonagh is making his highly anticipated feature directorial debut on In Bruges, from his original screenplay. He previously wrote and directed Six Shooter, which earned him last year’s Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Film, and which also starred Brendan Gleeson.
Best known as a playwright, McDonagh is a two-time Olivier Award winner and a four-time Tony Award nominee. His plays include 'The Beauty Queen of Leenane', 'The Cripple of Inishmaan', 'The Lonesome West', 'The Pillowman', and 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore'.
Graham Broadbent and Pete Czernin, the principals of the UK based production company Blueprint Pictures, are producing In Bruges. Blueprint is also currently in post-production on Julian Jarrold’s Becoming Jane, starring Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen; and Gregory Jacobs’ Wind Chill, starring Golden Globe Award winner Emily Blunt.
Focus Features holds worldwide rights to the film and is financing production with Film4. Focus senior vice president, production Jill Morris and senior vice president, European production Teresa Moneo are supervising In Bruges for Focus. Tessa Ross of Film4 is executive-producing In Bruges with Jeff Abberley and Julia Blackman of Scion Films.
