Colin Farrell Leads the Charge
Colin Farrell, celebrated for his diverse array of roles, steps into the shoes of the main protagonist, Gerard Woodward. Known for his notable performances in blockbuster hits like “Daredevil” and “Alexander,” Farrell’s portrayal of Woodward promises to captivate audiences once again.
“The Ballad of a Small Player” originated as a critically acclaimed novel in 2014, swiftly garnering attention for its compelling narrative. With the rights secured for a cinematic adaptation, the project remained in development limbo until now, poised to materialize under Netflix’s banner.
Edward Berger, the visionary director of Netflix’s Oscar-winning classic “All Quiet on the Western Front,” is in charge of directing. Screenwriter Rowan Joffe works closely with Berger, assisting him in transforming Osborne’s literary brilliance into a compelling script. Good Chaos and Nine Hours are in charge of the movie’s production.
As Gerard Woodward in “The Ballad of a Small Player,” Farrell’s character sets off on a quest of self-awareness and atonement. After taking on the persona of “Lord Doyle,” Woodward makes his way through the opulent lifestyle of Macau’s elite, only to find comfort in the most unlikely of friendships with Dao-Ming, an enigmatic call girl.
