<h3>Local Hollywood actor Michael Fassbender is preparing for a role in new film &#8216;Night Boat to Tangier&#8217;.</h3>
The film, set in Spain and Ireland, is an adaptation of a book of the same name which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, and was one of the New York Times Book Review&#8217;s 10 Best Books of 2019.
In the film Fassbender will star alongside fellow Irish actors Domhnall Gleeson and Ruth Negga in a story about two Cork gangsters and partners-in crime who not only have a personal history but also a violent past together.
Fassbender, who has been nominated twice for an Oscar, had three Golden Golden Award nominations and four BAFTA nominations will also be an Executive Producer for the project.
He&#8217;ll play Maurice Hearne while Gleeson portrays his partner Charlie Redmond.
They flee to southern Spain to meet up with old associates and search for one&#8217;s estranged daughter Dilly. As they wait for her to arrive on a boat from Tangier in Morocco their past begins to unfold.
The script for the film was written by the book&#8217;s author Kevin Barry and directed by James Marsh (Man on Wire, The Theory of Everything).
Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Tony nominee Negga, who plays Cynthia, offers light relief through comedy.
Fassbender also has two projects, David Fincher&rsquo;s thriller, &#8216;The Killer&#8217; for Netflix, and Taika Waititi&rsquo;s comedy for Fox Searchlight, &#8216;Next Goal Wins&#8217; which will be released later this year.
