Keegan's book Foster was the basis for the Oscar-nominated Irish-language film An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl). "We have gathered together a phenomenal team of creatives to make this film, and found exceptional partners in AE, a studio led by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck - actors and filmmakers I have admired for many years." "I'm honoured and thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Claire Keegan's magnificent novel to the screen," said Murphy in a statement. The film has received backing from Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland and is the first feature from Murphy and production partner Alan Moloney's Big Things Films. Small Things Like These has received the green light from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's company Artists Equity (AE). Set in an Irish town at Christmas 1985, Small Things Like These follows fuel merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy) as he discovers secrets about his homeplace and his own life. The film reunites Murphy with Peaky Blinders director Tim Mielants, and the script has been written by Murphy's longtime collaborator, the playwright Enda Walsh.
US entertainment trade publication Deadline reports that the Cork actor is currently filming the adaptation in Ireland alongside Ciarán Hinds and Emily Watson. Cillian Murphy is starring in and producing a big-screen adaptation of Wexford author Claire Keegan's Booker Prize-nominated bestseller Small Things Like These.
