Cillian Murphy's Next Movie Is One Step Closer to a Theatrical Release

The Big Picture Lionsgate has secured the distribution rights for the film Small Things Like These in North America, the UK, and Ireland. The adaptation of Claire Keegan’s acclaimed novel stars Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy and Emily Watson, and is directed by Tim Mielants. Small Things Like These opened the Berlin Film Festival this year, where it competed and earned Emily Watson a Silver Bear for her performance.

Keegan’s novel Small Things Like These, published in 2021 by Grove Press, received critical acclaim and was shortlisted for several prestigious awards, including the 2022 Booker Prize and the Rathbones Folio Prize. It won the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction and the Kerry Prize for Irish Novel of the Year, among others. Keegan’s previous works have also garnered numerous accolades and have been translated into more than thirty languages.

'Small Things Like These' Needs to Be Seen Theatrically Adam Fogelson, Chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed enthusiasm for the film, stating, “We are incredibly proud to bring this film to audiences. Claire Keegan’s book is a captivating, heart-wrenching, and empathetically told story of a character who uncovers not only a local mystery but also discovers who he really is.

Murphy, reflecting on the project, said, “Especially since Small Things Like These marks the first project from Big Things Films, I’m particularly pleased Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will bring it to audiences in Ireland, the US, and UK. Making the film was a labor of love; I can’t wait to talk about it. We are enormously grateful to Artists Equity for their unwavering support throughout this process.
