Jim Sheridan to enter the 'Emerald City'
The 'My Left Foot' director is to make a film about Irish-American gansters in New York.
Jul 11 2005
Jim Sheridan is to examine the Irish New York Mafia in a forthcoming picture entitled 'Emerald City'.
The script, which is being written by former assistant district attorney Lukas Reiter, will look back at the world of organised crime in the Hell's Kitchen area of the big apple.
Before the 'In America' director can get to work on the period piece however, Sheridan is in talks to remake the classic Akira Kurosawa drama 'Ikiru' for DreamWorks.
And if those two projects weren't diverse enough, Sheridan is also currently working on 'Get Rich or Die Tryin', which stars Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as an inner-city drug dealer attempting to go straight and make it in the rap world.
The MTV-produced rags-to-riches tale is due to hit screens at the end of the year, and if there's any news on the other two projects, rest assured you'll hear it first at Time Out.
