According to the International Movie Database (IMDB), Ciarán would play Gene Kranz, famed NASA flight controller, in First Man.
To people who are old enough to remember, Gene Kranz is the unsung hero who guided Neil Armstrong the last miles to his landing site. From the first Mercury missions to the last Apollo flight to the moon, for Gene Kranz, "failure was not an option".
Although our favourite actor is much older than his character at the time, let's fancy that he will sport Kranz' famous scowling face and white vests with panache... if this is true.
The cast are also excellent in bringing an authentic slice of rural Donegal to the London stage. Colin Morgan excels, but the standout performance comes from Game of Throne's Ciarán Hinds as the ruddy and defiant Hugh (Radio Times).
It comes alive when Ciarán Hinds steps on stage as the shambling, raging, charismatic schoolmaster Hugh, constantly barking at his students to tell him the derivations of Latin and Greek words. When he moves his head his shoulders and torso move with it, as if his back has been stiffened from drink and rain. Hinds has a way of bellowing quietly that makes him a force on stage (The Stage).
Rehearsals have begun for the National Theatre's production of Brian Friel's Translations.
Directed by Ian Rickson, this powerful account of nationhood, which sees the turbulent relationship between England and Ireland play out in one quiet community, will open on May 22. The press night will take place on May 30.
Apart from Ciarán, the cast includes Dermot Crowley, Aoife Duffin, Adetomiwa Edun, Michelle Fox, Laurence Kinlan, Seamus O'Hara, Judith Roddy and Rufus Wright.
Ciarán stars as Robert R. Gilruth, the Director of the Manned Spacecraft Center, in a biopic of Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, based on James R. Hansen's book First Man: the life of Neil Armstrong.
The part may not be a big one, but the character was at the center of things nearly every step of the way from the Sputnik launching in 1957 to the Moon landings that began in 1969.
