Is the Big Screen big enough for the Big Man?
BBC Newsline has revealed there are now two projects to make a movie about Paisley’s life. The Paisley family is co-operating with one project and Gary Mitchell has been commissioned to write the script. Another Co Down production company has recieved support from the Film and Television Commission to develop a script. It is unknown if Liam Neeson is still interested.

Posted by on Mar 22, 2007 @ 09:15 PMReckon this film will be boring. All Paisley did was talk vitriol all his life - what are they going to do? Shoot it as a series of rabble-rousing speeches?
He didn’t even make any major changes or take any grand decisions that posed any risk to himself. There’s no narrative here, no emotional crux, just endless stasis.
I do think there should be more films about the North from a Protestant viewpoint, but its up to Protestants to make them. Hopefully they can find more interesting subject matter than a loud-mouthed politician who played it safe all his life and never even challenged himself.
