‘One Night Only’ stars Colin Morgan (Dead and Buried, The Fall, The Boy That Never Was) as the manager of a small-town cinema who struggles to keep the peace on a chaotic Friday night at the pictures. Set in 1980’s Ireland, this feel-good movie is a loving tribute to the cinema experience, and is directed by Limerick writer/director David Gleeson.

Gleeson also wrote and directed ‘Cowboys and Angels’, the first feature film to shoot entirely in the city, produced back in 2003. Now 20 years on, his latest movie is bringing life back to the once bustling Royal Cinema.

David Gleeson explains that he was shaped by his experiences growing up in the cinema business in Cappamore, Co. Limerick, “The cinema has profoundly shaped my life and this film reflects three generations of my family’s experiences. Anyone with fond memories of going to the pictures will find something to laugh or cry about in this film.”

‘One Night Only’ also stars Calam Lynch, Niamh Cusack and India Mullen. The film is currently in pre-production, with the old Royal Cinema on Cecil Street in Limerick being readied for filming later this month.

Regional Film Manager, Paul C. Ryan from Innovate Limerick / Film in Limerick commented, “We are beyond thrilled to have the ‘One Night Only’ team in Limerick, preparing for the cameras to roll at the Royal Cinema. The Royal holds so many special memories for the people of Limerick, it seems like every one of a certain age has a story to tell about the venue, and we are excited to see it brought back to life for this production.

“We are so grateful for all the help we have received from the City to bring this opportunity to Limerick and especially all the support from Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board who have helped us at every stage to make this production a reality. Let’s hope that soon, we will be see a newly renovated Royal Cinema for the people of Limerick and ‘One Night Only’, screened there.”

Nathalie Lichtenthaeler, Producer from Wide Eye Films is looking forward to the production saying, “We are delighted to be back in Limerick and to breathe life back into the Royal for our new feature film ‘One Night Only‘  – just a few metres away from David’s first bedsit! We have been working closely with Film in Limerick, LCETB and the Council in Limerick to bring everything together for the film and have been able to hire a majority of our crew locally and to engage local businesses to provide services for the production. We look forward to a successful shoot and to returning to Limerick to screen the film next year.”
