The director is also mid-way through completing his hybrid project Re-creation about the unsolved murder of French film and TV producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier in a remote part of Ireland in 1996, which he has co-written and is co-directing with David Merriman.

Sheridan said the production, which features award-winning Luxembourgish actress Vicky Krieps (Corsage) in the cast, shot key jury discussion scenes in Luxembourg last fall.

“The jury are discussing real facts in a fictional setting,” he said. “My plan is to try and reshoot it as soon as they can reconstitute everybody and get a little bit extra money.”
