Liam Neeson hits red carpet for Five Minutes of Heaven
August 12, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
It can’t be easy getting back into the public eye after losing someone. But actor Liam Neeson made his first public appearance since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson. He hit the red carpet for the premiere of his new film, "Five Minutes of Heaven," in which he co-stars with James Nesbitt and Anamaria Marinca.
Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, it tells the story of a meeting between former UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force, a loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland) Alistair Little (Neeson) and Joe Griffen (Nesbitt). The meeting takes place 25 years after Little killed Griffen’s brother.
The movie opens in theaters August 21, 2009. It sounds intense, and has already scored two wins from the Sundance Film Festival, for screenwriting and directing.
