Split personality role for Cillian in Peacock
Variety reports today that Cillian will shoot the new film Peacock in May, opposite Juno star Ellen Page... or perhaps, it could be said, opposite himself:
...Murphy's character, a split personality, fools the town (of Peacock, Nebraska) into believing his two alter egos are man and wife. Page plays a struggling young mother who holds the key to his past and sparks a battle between the personalities.
Fans of Breakfast on Pluto and those who were excited by prospect of the stalled project Telepathy, in which Cillian was to star as twins, will surely be thrilled at the prospect of this dual role. Sounds like Cillian is looking forward to Peacock:
"Peacock stunned me as a script from start to finish," Murphy said. "It offers an incredible challenge to an actor—one I couldn't turn down."
James McAvoy now linked to Perrier's Bounty
Last June, we blogged about a project Cillian was rumored to be considering: the crime dramedy, Perrier's Bounty. It looks as though that ship has probably sailed: The Hollywood Reporter and other sources now say that James McAvoy is poised to sign on for the starring role, alongside his wife, Anne-Marie Duff, and Cillian is no longer mentioned.
