Anger Management In Play In Saipan UK Trailer

Anger management comes in play as Vertigo Releasing release the UK Trailer for drama Saipan starring Steve Coogan and Éanna Hardwicke.

The pièce de résistance for international football fans is the World Cup. The big stage national teams from around the world play to become the best. Like my home team Scotland, Ireland is a small nation with big ambitions, in 2002 they had some great players.

Saipan is all about the infamous confrontation between iconic Republic of Ireland football captain Roy Keane (Hardwicke) and his national team manager Mick McCarthy (Coogan) during the team’s preparations for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

This one also stars Alice Lowe, Jamie Beamish, Alex Murphy, Peter McDonald and Harriet Cains.

Synopsis: SAIPAN is the thrilling story of football player Roy Keane and his manager Mick McCarthy, and the events leading up to Ireland’s incendiary 2002 World Cup campaign. The intense rivalry between these two personalities transcended the game, gripping an entire nation and the sporting world. On the surface, the feud was all about standards, but deep down it was a hugely emotive story of two men whose rivalry and contempt came to surpass the sport they loved. This is the definitive account of one of the most fractious fallings-out in the history of sport.

Directed by award-winning filmmakers Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn (Good Vibrations, Ordinary Love) and based on an original script by Paul Fraser (Heartlands, A Room for Romeo Brass), SAIPAN stars BAFTA nominated Éanna Hardwicke (Lakelands, The Sixth Commandment) as Roy Keane, with two-time Academy Award® nominee Steve Coogan (Philomena, The Reckoning) as Mick McCarthy. Supporting cast include Alice Lowe (Sightseers), Jamie Beamish (Derry Girls), Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders), Harriet Cains (Bridgerton) and Peter McDonald (The Batman).
