With the casting almost complete, we’re now into the planning stage for the shoot. Many of the props are fairly standard things, but we do have a few unusual ones that will be less easy to get hold of.

First on the list are Bruni’s sweaters. As those who’ve read the script know, Bruni’s unusual taste in sweaters plays a key role in the movie, and she goes through five or six Aran sweaters of different colours during the movie. Enter the good people from Blarney Woollen Mills, who have very kindly offered to loan us a selection of their beautiful Aran sweaters and cardigans.

Thanks very much to Darren Smyth and Annette Kenneally for making this happen!
