A film about the atrocity at Omagh, where a 500lb bomb killed 29 people five years ago, is being made by the team behind the controversial picture Bloody Sunday.
Paul Greengrass, the award-winning film-maker behind Bloody Sunday, will oversee the movie, but the director will be Pete Travis, who made the recent Henry VIII with Ray Winstone.
This won't be a glossy re-creation; rather, it will have Greengrass's signature sensibility: realistic and gritty, with lots of hand-held camera work.
The film, which is being funded by a collective of Irish and UK film and TV companies, will look at the events before the bomb, the actual day when it exploded in the busy town centre, and the haunting aftermath.
The script also looks at how painstaking the search for the bombers was, but it makes the bitter point that only a few of those responsible have been brought to justice so far.
Gerard McSorley, who was in Bloody Sunday and Joel Schumacher's film Veronica Guerin, will portray Michael Gallagher, a spokesman for the victims' families who lost his son Aidan in the bombing.
