Actor Eddie Marsan has starred in numerous films throughout his career, including Mission Impossible III, Sherlock Holmes, and The World's End. His next project, No Ordinary Heist, is inspired by the 2004 Northern Bank robbery, when over £25 million was stolen from the company's Belfast headquarters. The film stars Marsan as branch manager Richard Murray, alongside Éanna Hardwicke. The supporting cast includes Eva Birthistle, Michelle Fairley, Andrea Irvine, and Patrick O'Kane. The director, Colin McIvor, and co-written by McIvar with Aisling Corristine, premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Fest in February. Marsan discusses the universal appeal of the film and the need for political commentary without becoming didactic.
