First Look At Danny Dyer Football Agent In Three Quick Breaths

Vertigo Releasing have acquired the UK and Irish rights for Three Quick Breaths starring Danny Dyer. The film has started principal photography and release First Look Image.

What better time to reveal the news as football fans watch the news to see if their team sign anyone on transfer deadline day. Danny Dyer (Rivals) stars as Jimmy Banks – an old school football agent who desperately needs to get his star footballer one last big payday before Jimmy’s life, and his player’s reputation, comes tumbling down. A fast paced, pressure cooker thriller, the film plunges into the seedy and exhilarating world of football agents who live for the big deals and will torch everything else down in pursuit of them.

No other cast has been announced, the film is directed by Brendan Muldowney (The Cellar).

Dyer commented “Shooting Three Quick Breaths in Ireland has been an incredible experience so far – even if most of my time is spent locked in Jimmy Banks’ office! Jimmy’s a character who’s juggling chaos, but there’s so much depth to him – this is a very rare opportunity as an actor to be the only performer in a film. In a way I feel like it’s my Hamlet. It’s a brilliant, clever piece and I’m very proud to be part of it.”

Director Brendan Muldowney also commented – “I am so excited to be working on Peter’s amazing script for THREE QUICK BREATHS. It is a funny, thrilling and surprisingly moving, adrenaline fuelled story, and James ‘Jimmy’ Banks is one of the best characters I’ve ever read in a script. One actor, one location thrillers are incredibly intense and I can’t wait to work with Danny on bringing ‘Jimmy Banks’ to life in all his glory.”

The film is produced by Paul Kennedy (Nightride) for Village Films, Richard Bolger (Father, Mother, Sister, Brother) for Hail Mary Pictures, and Patrick O’Neill (Kneecap) for Wildcard with from Screen Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen. The film will be shot in Ireland this month with post-production taking place in Northern Ireland.
