Cillian talks Inception and more
19 July 2010 at 07:02 PM | by Rin, with Nairin78
Cahir O'Doherty from IrishCentral.com recently interviewed Cillian about his role in the newly-released film Inception, calling Cillian "captivating" and the film as being "dark" and a "surprisingly thoughtful thriller". Cillian talks about his relationship with director Christopher Nolan and how Nolan delves deep into the storyline and characters to create a mind-bending tale that has Cillian starring as the mark of the movie.
Cillian also mentions Brendan Gleeson's upcoming project which is an adaptation of Flann O'Brien's At Swim Two Birds, which could see Cillian starring alongside Colin Farrell and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. According to Cillian, Gleeson is in the process of gathering money to support the project and says that "...there's a huge amount of good will toward the film and all of the actors are very much attached and engaged in it."
O'Doherty also brings up a rather amusing topic with Cillian, that of An Post (the Irish Postal Service) putting Cillian's face on a postage stamp. He remarks that it was a nice gesture, but his grandmother was more excited than he was. Well, that's Cillian for us, I suppose :) You can check out the interview in its entirety here.

Druid reprised
This past week Dublin residents were treated with a Druid 35th Birthday performance entitled From Galway to Broadway and Back Again in which Cillian reprised his acclaimed role of Christy in a selection from Playboy of the Western World.

Total Film article with striking photos
Matt Mueller of Total Film magazine has written an article about Cillian featuring some gorgeous new photographs taken by Matt Holyoak. Appearing "genuinely contrite," Cillian apologized for his inability to share too many details about his upcoming role in Inception. We learn that Cillian was asked by Chris Nolan to read the script of Inception and tell him which role he felt best suited for. Lucky for us, they both agreed and Cillian was hired for the part. True to Cillian's longing to always seek out new roles and new characters, the film promises to be give us Cillian in a part that we've never seen him play before. If you're eager to see the photos and read the text, you can see them here, in our Feature Stories section.
