‘Ballybrando’ Documentary to Be Broadcast in December
Ballybrando is a documentary charting the ill-fated 1995 Irish film Divine Rapture, which had Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp among its stars. The documentary, currently being edited, tells the story of the ‘greatest film never made in Ireland’, as the project was brought to a halt as a result of financial difficulties. Just over 20 minutes of footage had been shot of the film, which focused on an elderly priest (Brando) who believes in the power of miracles. Divine Rapture was being filmed in the Cork village of Ballycotton in 1995.
Hotshot films’ managing director Brendan Byrne is the director and producer of Ballybrando, with David Barker (Endgame in Ireland) and Emmet Harte (Anonymous) on board as cinematographers. The documentary is scheduled to be broadcast this December on RTÉ.
