Watch: First trailer for Saipan film starring Steve Coogan and Éanna Hardwicke

When a film about Saipan was announced, some football fans likely rolled their eyes, however the first trailer for the film looks promising with the infamous Roy Keane/Mick McCarthy feud to be revived once more. Whether you were a football fan or not, anyone who lived through the summer of 2002 had an opinion on the falling out. Advertisement Roy Keane was arguably the best midfielder on the planet at that point, however, a row about the training facilities on the Western Pacific island led to the Manchester United star leaving the camp ahead of the World Cup. It seemed the nation was divided, you were either team Keane or team McCarthy, and decades later it is sitll rehashed in pub corners on a near daily basis. There is no release date yet, but the first trailer for the Saipan film dropped on Monday. Unsurprisingly, Coogan seems like he'll make a great McCarthy. Advertisement However, Cork native Éanna Hardwicke looks like he's well able to take on the role of the most famous Corkman. With radio pundits heard dissecting the row, amid ominous shots of the island, we hear Hardwicke's Keane telling his manager: "You don't ever tell me we're done. I'm just getting started." The film is produced by Macdara Kelleher and John Keville for Wild Atlantic Pictures (Evil Dead Rise, Cocaine Bear, Black 47) along with Trevor Birney and Oliver Butler for Fine Point Films (Kneecap, No Stone Unturned) with Patrick O'Neill and Rachael O'Kane serving as executive producers. The synopsis for Saipan reads "SAIPAN is the thrilling story of football player Roy Keane and his manager Mick McCarthy, and the events leading up to Ireland's incendiary 2002 World Cup campaign. Advertisement "The intense rivalry between these two personalities transcended the game, gripping an entire nation and the sporting world. On the surface, the feud was all about standards, but deep down it was a hugely emotive story of two men whose rivalry and contempt came to surpass the sport they loved. "This is the definitive account of one of the most fractious fallings-out in the history of sport." Watch the tralier below.
