COLIN FARRELL TO LEAD

THE NORTH WATER EPIC DRAMA

Well, I don't think we've ever seen him in a BBC project, but now Colin Farrell will lead BBC 2's new  three part epic series THE NORTH WATER! Based on a novel by Ian McGuire, it will be set in the UK and the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, following the story of Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship’s doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic. On board he meets Henry Drax (Colin Farrell), the harpooner, a brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of his world. Hoping to escape the horrors of his past, Sumner finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland. Andrew Haigh is directing for See Saw Films.
