Dear Friends:
Summer greetings!
I hope wherever you may be you are having a wonderful summer and enjoying the
great outdoors.
I just finished a very brief vacation with my family and am now in Vancouver working
on a new film titled Marriage, co-staring Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson,
and Rachel McAdams.
My production company Irish DreamTime is still going full steam ahead on The
Thomas Crown Affair sequel and we are in the planning stages for filming
in Europe and New York City.
Please check your local PBS listings for a six-part documentary I narrated called
Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Adventures. The series illuminates
the need for better understanding and sustainable management of the oceans' rich
natural treasures. I also want to congratulate my friend Jean-Michel who after
arranging a private screening of his documentary for President Bush, inspired
the President to designate 140,000 square miles surrounding the northwestern Hawaiian
islands as the worlds largest marine sanctuary.
This fall look for Seraphim Falls, a period piece set in the post-Civil
War era, co-starring Liam Neeson and myself. In early 2007, Irish DreamTime and
Icon Pictures will release the psychological thriller titled Butterfly on
a Wheel, co-starring Maria Bello and Gerard Butler.
Lastly, The Matador has just been released on DVD and as of today is
#1 for DVD rentals. If you’d like to order a copy, please click

Stay tuned for more movie news.
Love and only love,
