EXCLUSIVE! Eric Bana admits working with Jim Sheridan is ‘not for everyone’

Eric Bana has admitted that working with Jim Sheridan is “not for everyone”.

The Australian actor worked with the famed Irish director on his new film The Secret Scripture, and described the experience as “amazing”.

Speaking to Goss.ie at the ADIFF Gala Screening of the new film, Eric gushed, “He’s one of the great directors. I like his process, I like the way he goes about it.”

However, although Eric is a fan of the way Jim works – he admitted that it may not be to every actor’s taste.

“It’s not for everyone, you have to really trust the director to work in that sort of way, but I love it.”

Based on Sebastian Barry’s acclaimed novel, Jim Sheridan’s first Irish-set film since The Boxer (1997) explores the life and history of Roseanne McNulty (Vanessa Redgrave), a woman confined to the Roscommon Mental Hospital for 50 years.

As the institution is about to close, Dr. Grene (Eric Bana) is sent to see whether she’s fit to be released. He’s intrigued by Roseanne’s eccentricities and her fierce attachment to her Bible, in which she’s been keeping a diary since she was first admitted.

As he delves into her past, Dr. Grene gets to know the younger Roseanne (played by Rooney Mara) and eventually learns the terrible truth about her confinement. Shot in the starkly beautiful west of Ireland, The Secret Scripture uncovers a dark chapter in Ireland’s history.
