Two years after her death, a biopic on Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor is in the works
Two years after her death, a biopic on legendary Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor is reportedly in development. According to Variety, the film will be directed by Josephine Decker, known for the 2020 feature Shirley, based on the life of novelist Shirley Jackson. Decker will work from a script by Irish writer Stacey Gregg. Helming the project is Irish production company ie: entertainment, which already executive produced the 2022 Sinéad O'Connor documentary Nothing Compares. The upcoming film has reportedly been in the works since the release of the critically acclaimed documentary, on which the singer had collaborated. Other production companies involved in the biopic include Oscar-winning See-Saw Films, known for The King's Speech, Shame, Lion and The Power of the Dog, as well as Nine Daughters, which produced Lady Macbeth and God's Creatures. Both companies previously collaborated on Francis Lee's 2020 period drama Ammonite. The film is expected to focus on O'Connor's early life and career. It will tell the story "of how one young woman from Dublin took on the world, examining how her global fame may have been built on her talent, but her name became synonymous with her efforts to draw attention to the crimes committed by the Catholic Church and the Irish state." Sinéad O'Connor died in 2023 at age 56. The biggest commercial success of her four-decade career remained her 1990 album 'I' Do Not Want What I Haven't Got', which featured her hit cover of Prince's song 'Nothing Compares 2 U'. O'Connor, who self-identified as a 'protest singer', intertwined her music and activism throughout her life. She most vehemently advocated against child abuse in the Catholic Church. During a 1992 performance on US comedy show Saturday Night Live, she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II, a gesture that drew wide condemnation. In 2018, she converted to Islam and took the name Shuhada' Sadaqat, while continuing to perform under her birth name. The Irish musician released her memoir 'Rememberings" in 2021, just two years before her death. Her legacy was a subject of controversy during the 2024 US presidential campaign, when her estate asked Donald Trump to stop using 'Nothing Compares to U' at his political rallies. "Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O'Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness, and decency towards her fellow human beings,' O'Connor's estate and her label Chrysalis Records said in a statement at the time. "As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump, and his associates desist from using her music immediately."

Major Sinéad O'Connor Biopic Announcement Has Fans Saying the Same Thing
Major Sinéad O'Connor Biopic Announcement Has Fans Saying the Same Thing originally appeared on Parade. Two years after the tragic death of Sinéad O'Connor at the age of 56, a biopic is officially in the it seems iconic Irish singer's fans are just as passionate as ever, as reactions to the project's announcement proved. A TikTok shared by Metro Entertainment this week featuring a vintage clip of O'Connor performing confirmed that Irish production company ie: entertainment (which executive produced the O'Connor documentary Nothing Compares) is behind the biopic, in conjunction with Nine Daughters and See-Saw Films (Slow Horses). "Who do you think could play the iconic Irish musician?" the text overlay on the video asked — and fans were quick to share their passionate opinions on the subject. "It needs to be an Irish woman. I'm hoping for Saoirse Ronan," one person wrote, as a second agreed, "It HAS to be someone IRISH. It is important to the story." "Saoirse!!!" declared another commenter, with numerous others making the same suggestion. Others, however, called Ronan "too overused," casting their votes for such Irish actresses as Katie McGrath and Lola Petticrew, while some thought an "Irish unknown" would be the best choice. Still others suggested several English stars, including Lily Collins, Emma Corrin, and Daisy Edgar Jones (who showcased her convincing Irish accent in Normal People). While fans will have to wait for any official casting news, Variety reports the biopic will "explore O'Connor's early life and beginnings in the music industry," telling "the story of how one young woman from Dublin took on the world, examining how her global fame may have been built on her talent, but her name became synonymous with her efforts to draw attention to the crimes committed by the Catholic Church and the Irish state."Major Sinéad O'Connor Biopic Announcement Has Fans Saying the Same Thing first appeared on Parade on Aug 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

The 9 Best Sports Bars in Barcelona
Barcelona isn't just a paradise for architecture, beaches, and tapas, it's also a city where sports culture runs deep, from the roar of Camp Nou to the hum of neighborhood bars on match day. Whether you're a die-hard football fanatic, a casual NBA watcher, or someone who simply enjoys a cold beer with friends while the game's on in the background, the city offers a wide variety of venues to suit every taste. From bustling beer halls with craft brews and multiple screens to cozy local pubs steeped in tradition, here's a look at some of the best spots to watch sports in Barcelona. 1. CocoVail Beer Hall Nestled in the Eixample district, CocoVail stands out as a spacious, American-style craft beer haven. With 24 rotating craft beers on tap, including local Catalan and Spanish brews, it's a beer lover's paradise. They also serve up to 17 flavorful chicken wing variants, burgers, and sandwiches, perfect for sharing, especially when paired with board games while you wait. CocoVail features 6–7 large-screen TVs, ensuring you can catch multiple games, from NBA and NFL, to UCL, golf, rugby, Formula 1, and March Madness. Reviewers love the laid-back vibe and friendly service. 2. Belushi's Bar A familiar face among expats and students, Belushi's offers an international pub atmosphere with multiple screens and a global crowd vibe. Expect a solid mix of pub food, beers, and broadcasts of major sports from around the world. 3. The George Payne Located centrally near Plaça Catalunya, this lively Irish pub delivers a genuine match-day atmosphere. With ten 60' screens across two floors, you'll never miss a moment. Known for its long beer list, 'Messi World Class Burger,' fiery chicken wings, and even humorous food challenges like the 'Luis Suárez Big Bite,' this spot turns sports viewing into full-on entertainment. 4. Flaherty's Irish Bar & The Old Irish Pub Also recognized as strong choices in Barcelona's sports bar lineup. Both offer cozy, authentic pub interiors and frequent broadcasts of football, rugby, and more, great for tourists or locals seeking a classic Irish pub vibe. 5. Sonora Sports Tavern Listed among the top sports pubs in the city, Sonora rounds out a solid lineup with its welcoming setting and reliable sports coverage.

L'Ovella Negra A rustic, convivial tavern with large spaces, table football, sangria-by-the-pitch-volume vibes, and big screens for match nights. It's a mix of local tradition and festive sports culture. 8. Bar Llopart & Bar Versalles For a more local experience, these neighborhood havens offer an authentic sporting atmosphere with Catalan flair. Bar Llopart in Sants, with its Barça scarves, chants, and budget-friendly beers, attracts true fans. Bar Versalles in Sant Andreu, with historic charm and modernist touches, screens matches amid a genuine community feel. 9. Additional Favorites & Local Tips Travelers and students frequently recommend Irish pubs like Michael Collins, James Joyce, and George Payne as go-to places for casual match watching, even if the concept of a 'sports bar' isn't ingrained in Catalan culture. Others point to a local ambiance, where regular bars simply tune into big games in the background.

Belushi's and other Irish pubs keep things steady and social. Meanwhile, more traditional locales like Bar Llopart or La Cañota cater to local fans, families, and foodies alike. There's a perfect place in Barcelona for every kind of match-day mood, cheers to that! TIME BUSINESS NEWS
