Kerry Condon on Channeling ‘Trainspotting’ for IRA Thriller ‘In the Land of Saints and Sinners’ and Upcoming ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’: ‘It’s Really Adventurous’
Kerry Condon on battling Liam Neeson in IRA thriller 'In the Land of Saints and Sinners,' plus 'Star War: Skeleton Crew' and Brad Pitt's F1 drama.
Set in the height of the Troubles in the mid-1970s, Robert Lorenz’s Irish Western “ In the Land of Saints and Sinners,” which launches on Netflix Friday, sees the actress ditch all niceties to play a hard-nosed, mean-as-hell, extremely potty-mouthed and very violent IRA gang leader trying to lie low in rural Donegal following a deadly pub bombing. But it’s not long before she’s up against Liam Neeson, whose demeanor as a quiet widow and secondhand book dealer masks a secret identity as a local hitman for Colm Meaney’s village mobster. She recently returned home from Abu Dhabi, where she’s been filming scenes for “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski’s as-yet-untitled Formula One action drama for Apple TV+ — playing a racing engineer as part of an all-star ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton (who also produces).
