Irish teen star Saoirse Ronan was at the Toronto International Film Festival last week promoting Byzantium, a movie about girl vampires directed by Oscar winner Neil Jordan.

The Irish feature movie, starring Colin Farrell, “Seven Psychopaths” along with the Irish documentary on emigrant in New York “Lon sa Speir” (“Lunch in the Sky”) are set to make their international premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival.

A French woman has spoken of her unbelievable devotion to the memory of Michael Collins – thanks to the Neil Jordan bio-pic of the Irish leader.

It appears that Ireland is jumping on the vampire bandwagon after the Irish Film Board granted funding for Neil Jordan’s ‘Byzantium,’ a vampire thriller flick. Attached to the film already are Sam Reilly, Gemma Arterton, and Irish starlet Saoirse Ronan.

Oscar winning Irish director Neil Jordan has a hit on his hands. The Borgias, which he created and filmed in Ireland, has been renewed for a second season with a 10-episode order.

They've been friends and occasionally rivals for decades and now film directors John Boorman and Neil Jordan are in pre-production for their co-written effort Broken Dream, a feature film they originally penned together in the late 1970's.

The influential Catholic League, the Catholic anti-defamation group, has attacked Macy’s and Irish writer Neil Jordan who they call an atheist and anti-Catholic bigot.

Neil Jordan is set to write & direct the screenplay for Paul Murray’s Man Booker  listed novel "Skippy Dies".

Director Neil Jordan would like to film Ian Paisley’s life story. In a candid interview with Irish press on Monday, Oscar winning director Jordan, who's previous hits have included modern classics like “The Crying Game,” “Interview with the Vampire” and “Mona Lisa,” said he is keen to return to Northern Ireland as a subject, and particularly to the new, more peaceful version.

You've seen many of Neil Jordan's films, from 1985's "Mona Lisa" right up to 2003's "The Good Thief." Now authors Emer and Kevin Rockett offer a valuable look back at the director's diverse body of work in "Neil Jordan: Exploring Boundaries." Once you delve back into Jordan's often dazzling career, it's sometimes hard to believe the director of Irish classics such as "The Crying Game," "The Butcher Boy" and "Michael Collins" also helmed the Robert DeNiro-Sean Penn caper "We're No Angels" and the sumptuous, English-set World War II film "The End of the Affair." Other books which are part of this series on contemporary Irish artists have included interviews with the artists themselves. Unfortunately, we do not get a sit down with Neil Jordan in this book. Nevertheless, this is a smart, revealing book about an important artist. ($29.95 / 316 pages / Dufour)
