‘The Guards’ Shoot Underway in Galway | |||||
27 Oct 2009 : | |||||
Magma Films’ latest project, an
adaptation of Ken Bruen’s ‘The Guards’, has begun shooting today, October 27th,
in Co. Galway. The film is directed by Stuart Orme (Inspector Morse, Merlin)
with Iain Glen (Song for a Raggy Boy, Tara Road) leading the cast.
Produced by Ralph Christians (Niko and the way to the Stars) and Clodagh
Freeman (Summer of the Flying Saucer), the script was adapted from Bruen’s novel
by Anne McCabe, Tom Collins and Ralph Christians. Other crew involved includes
Director of Photography John Conroy (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Production
Designer Derek Wallace (Triage).
‘The Guards’ tells the tale of Jack Taylor, a disgraced ex-cop, cast out of
the force after physically assaulting a member of parliament. Now operating as a
private eye, Jack takes his drinking as seriously as his job. When asked to find
a missing child, his investigation uncovers the seedy underbelly of Galway City.
Then, when an old friend of Jack’s dies under mysterious circumstances,
everything Jack believes in begins to unravel, making him question even those
closest to him.
This 90 minute TV movie is the first episode in a series of Jack Taylor
stories (of which Ken Bruen has published seven), co-financed by German
broadcaster RTL, Richard Price TV Associates, UK, The Media Fund and Magma
Films, Ireland.
Iain Glen (Tara Road) stars as Jack whilst Ralph Brown (The Boat that Rocked)
stars as his sidekick Sutton. The female leads are played by Irish actresses
Tara Breathnach (The Tudors) and Nora-Jane Noone (Savage).
Producer Clodagh Freeman tells IFTN: “Magma Films are delighted that the
first day of principal photography is finally underway on the adaptation of Ken
Bruen’s first novel in the Jack Taylor series ‘The Guards’. We are confident
that this wonderful franchise will fill the gap in the market for Irish crime
series internationally.”
