Irish actors take over Hollywood... again!

Three of Ireland's best known actors Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson and Colin Farrell all look set to make 2001 a year to remember for the Irish acting world. Dubliner Colin Farrell has just won the Best Actor of the Year for his yet unreleased film Tigerland were he plays a rebellious Texan soldier during the Vietnam war. The awards was given by the Boston Society of Film Critics in America.

Previous Oscar winner Tom Hanks was given joint third place for his role in Castaway.

The award for Farrell is a good indication for the nominations due out in February for the Oscars. He recently received $2.5m for his role as Bruce Willis's co-star in Hart's War which starts shooting next month.

Colin's fellow Irish actor and the current James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, is teaming up with action director Renny Harlin ("Die Hard 2") on an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury short story, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "A Sound Of Thunder" tells the story of a big-game hunter who time-travels to hunt dinosaurs. He is chased by a T. Rex, steps off the approved path, and inadvertently changes history, the report said.

The producers of the project hope to have it in front of the cameras during the first quarter of the year, before an expected actors strike.

As for Liam Neeson, the big fella is to star in a movie about a man who is locked up for 27 years for a crime he did not commit. Neeson wants to play the role of the reporter who writes a book on Stephen Downing who was jailed for life in 1973 for a murder he did commit. Neeson is in talks at the moment to take on the role next year.
