Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson and Ruth Negga are all set to star in Night Boat To Tangier, the film adaptation of Kevin Barry's novel. Helmed by James Marsh, Ashok Amritraj Studio will present the film to global buyers at the Cannes Marche Du Film next month.
Night Boat to Tangier is set in Spain and Ireland. It follows Maurice and Charlie, a pair of gangsters, drug smugglers and partners with a long history of violence and intertwined personal lives, from Ireland.

Gleeson will be seen in Echo Valley opposite Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore, and also in White House Plumbers.
