13/05/2004 Jordan to film another McCabe book
Neil Jordan is to bring Patrick McCabe's Booker-shortlisted 'Breakfast on Pluto' to the big screen, with Cillian Murphy in the lead role.
Variety reports that the film tells the story of the life of Patrick Brady (Murphy), who escapes from his foster home in small town Ireland to become a transvestite and performer in London.
Jordan previously filmed McCabe's book 'The Butcher Boy' and has also adapted the screenplay for 'Breakfast on Pluto'.
The film is due to begin shooting in September, after which Jordan will move on to another movie, 'Me and My Monster'.
