Dev Patel’s feature directorial debut Monkey Man leads the new films at this weekend’s UK-Ireland box office, starting in 592 cinemas through Universal.
Directed, produced, from a story by and starring Patel, Monkey Man follows an anonymous young man who unleashes a campaign of violence against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother, and continue to systematically victimise the poor and powerless.
Filmed in early 2021, Netflix originally bought worldwide rights to Monkey Man. After Jordan Peele boarded the title as producer through his Monkeypaw Productions, Universal acquired it from Netflix earlier this year. It debuted at SXSW last month.

In the fascinating new film documentary In Sunshine or In Shadows, which will screen on the closing night of this year’s Craic Fest on March 10 at the Tribeca Cinema, award-winning director Andrew Gallimore explores that remarkable night in Irish sporting history when the ultimate outsider climbed to the top of the world rankings. It’s been over a quarter of a century now since legendary boxer Barry McGuigan sent Irish pulses racing, but there was a time when Ireland needed the featherweight world champion more than they could ever have expressed. That time arrived on a balmy hot night in London in 1985 when McGuigan, the Clones Cyclone, dropped the long reigning featherweight champion Eusebio Pedroza from Panama in the seventh round and won a 15 round decision in a fight that riveted the whole country. ______________ Read More: More Irish arts news from Irish Central Off the Record: Romantic tunes for St.

Production has begun on Fastnet Film's new project 'Sunshine or in Shadow', a feature length documentary directed by Andrew Gallimore that examines the dramatic historical connotations and true story behind the epic world featherweight title match that took place between Barry McGuigan and the Panamanian champion Eusebio Pedroza. The clash has become a legendary encounter that gripped the Irish nation on one hot summer's night in 1985. With the same creative team behind the 2009 Ifta winning 'Troid Fhuilteach' (A Bloody Canvas), the film will document the fight which took place in the open air at Loftus Road, home of Qpr football club in West London. Twenty-five thousand Irish spectators attended the contest, with a further twenty million viewers watching on television throughout Ireland and the UK. It was the BBC's largest single viewing figure of the year and confirmed the incredible popularity enjoyed by McGuigan at this time on both sides of the Irish Sea.
