US EditionTrailer for Saipan movie starring Steve Coogan
- The film SAIPAN starring Anna Hardwicke as Roy Keane and Steve Coogan as Mick McCarthy depicts their 2002 World Cup confrontation.
- The dispute originated from disagreements over the quality of practice amenities on the island in the Western Pacific during preparations for Ireland's 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign.
- The trailer has sparked mixed reactions, with praise for Coogan as McCarthy but criticism over Hardwicke’s physical resemblance to Keane.
- Philip tweeted that the trailer evokes a tense, high-stakes atmosphere reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, highlighting how the rivalry extended beyond football to captivate both the nation and the wider sports community.
- The film, directed by D'Sa and Leyburn with funding from Screen Ireland and others, will release later this year and aims to definitively depict one of sport's most fractious fallings-out.
