Who is joining Emily Blunt’s Walk the Blue Fields movie?

According to Deadline, BAFTA winner Andrew Scott (Fleabag), Tom Cullen (Downton Abbey), and Golden Globe nominee Ciarán Hinds (Belfast) have tapped to join the upcoming Netflix movie. Further details about their roles are still under wraps, but it is expected to center around “a woman on her wedding day being confronted with a heart-wrenching decision as a love triangle from her past threatens to be revealed.”

Walk the Blue Fields will be directed by John Crowley (Brooklyn), with Tony-nominated playwright Conor McPherson writing the screenplay. Filming will take place in Crowley’s home country of Ireland. In addition to leading the cast, Blunt is also producing through her Ledbury Productions banner, along with Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe for Fremantle Company.
