Brendan Gleeson is Irish. Don Cheadle is not. But that's not stopping the two of them from heading off to Ireland together to make The Guard, a comedy-thriller that, according to Production Weekly, will be directed by John Michael McDonagh, who previously wrote the screenplay for the Heath Ledger vehicle Ned Kelly.
PW has no more details on the project, being that it was announced via Twitter, so we'll have to wait and see just what kind of trouble Gleeson and Cheadle can cook up together on the Emerald Isle. Gleeson previously starred in In Bruges for McDonagh's brother, Martin McDonagh, which could mean even more promising things than usual. Given that he'll be out of the Harry Potter series pretty soon, it's always good to see him keeping on with work. And Cheadle, of course, is welcome in whatever he wants to do-- yes, that includes Hotel for Dogs.
