Cillian Murphy on Taking an Awards Season Break With Berlin Opener ‘Small Things Like These,’ Getting the ‘Band Back Together’ for ’28 Days Later’ Sequels
As awards season reaches a climax, 'Oppenheimer' star Cillian Murphy is taking a minor detour to open the Berlinale with 'Small Things Like These.'
Murphy stars as a Bill, a soft-spoken coal delivery driver in and devoted father in 1980s Ireland who uncovers disturbing activity at the local convent — led by Emily Watson’s terrifying nun Sister Mary — that challenges his own internal traumas. Speaking to Variety, Murphy discusses pitching the film to Damon one night on the set of “Oppenheimer,” shooting the first project in his native Ireland for more than a decade, and returning to where his career erupted with the newly announced sequels to “ 28 Days Later.” So it was nice to come back and I have an awful lot of the HoDs in the crew were friends of mine that I’ve worked with on films in the past, so it was great to get those guys on the movie and they all crushed it.
