Cillian Murphy’s Berlin Drama ‘Small Things Like These’ Acquired By Lionsgate
Berlin drama 'Small Things Like These' has been acquired by Lionsgate for North America, UK and Ireland, the studio has announced.
On the heels of its world premiere in competition as the opener for the Berlin Film Festival, the historical drama Small Things Like These, produced by and starring Oppenheimer Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, has been acquired by Lionsgate. An adaptation of the acclaimed Claire Keegan novel that won star Emily Watson the Silver Bear in its Berlin debut, Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers the startling secrets being kept by the convent in his town, and some shocking truths about his own life as well. Cillian is at the peak of his powers, both as an actor and a producer, and it’s exciting to work with Matt and Ben to distribute a film they have shepherded so lovingly.
