Director Tim Mielants ("Legion," "The Terror") previously worked with Oscar winner Cillian Murphy ("Oppenheimer," "Inception") in the British period crime drama, "Peaky Blinders." The two are reuniting for a 98-minute film called "Small Things Like These," based on the 128-book by Claire Keegan. The historical drama follows a coal merchant (Murphy) in a small Irish town who comes across disturbing secrets at local convent and must determine what the right thing to do is— while also confronting his past. "Me and Cillian, after 'Peaky Blinders,' we wanted to work again together, and we were looking for material, and it was Cillian's wife who was waving the book in front of us," Mielants said. "I read it, and I recognized the very personal story, which is very close to me, which is the grief." "Small Things Like These" opens in theaters Friday, Nov. 8.
