Director Ken Loach is currently searching for Irish actors, professional and amateur, for a film about the War of Independence, to be filmed in Co Cork.
The Wind that Shakes the Barley will be filmed this summer in various locations including Macroom, Cul Aodh, Bandon, Buttevant and Mallow.
Loach, who is know for his socially conscious films, was in Cork on Wednesday and Thursday looking to cast young men to make up the ranks of Tom Barry's flying column.
A final call back session is planned for the first week in April. However, Sixteen Films is still accepting CV's and headshots from people wanting to take part in the film.
Loach's company is moving to a new office, details of which will be available in a week to 10 days.
The Wind that Shakes the Barley focuses on the lives of a young group of Irish men and women involved in the war.
The screenplay has been written by Paul Laverty and the movie will be produced by Dublin based Element Films.
Lavery previously collaborated with Loach on Sweet Sixteen, which was released in 2002.
