Kiefer Sutherland will be playing an Irish comedian in the and upcoming Fairy Tale of New York rom-com....
.....No, I’m not shitting you.
The picture will shoot later on this year and will be filmed in Northern Ireland and New York.
First time director Lee Cleary is at the helms of this one. And erm, it should be interesting shouldn’t it?
I hope I’m not alone in thinking that Kiefer Sutherland in anything but a kick ass action saga is wrong. Unless half way through we find out that New York is under threat by terrorists. In which case they have just the right man for the job, right?
This will probably be a tactical manoeuvre by Sutherland to prevent being type-casted which happens to so many actors out there.
On the plus side however, it does sound like a good premise for a rom-com and it’s surprising to think no one’s thought to exploit the popular Pogues song before now. The songs practically a movie in itself.
The problems of this of course are that we expect a lot more goddamn air time of that god damn song again. I liked it once, I think.
