The intense rivalry between Keane and McCarthy in the lead-up to Ireland's 2002 World Cup campaign gripped the entire nation and the sporting world.
Award-winning filmmakers Lisa Barros D'sa and Glenn Leyburn are on directing duties with the script by Paul Fraser.
BAFTA nominated Éanna Hardwick brings Corkman Keane to life while two-time Academy Award nominee Steven Coogan plays the Irish head coach.
Other well known names who have acting credits in SAIPAN include Jamie Beamish (Derry Girls); Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders) and Harriet Cains (Bridgerton).
Macdara Kelleher and John Keville are producing the film for Wild Atlantic Pictures alongside Trevor Birney and Oliver Butler for Fine Point Films.
Last year, it was revealed that a mansion on Belfast's northside was used for filming, with the location set up as the house of McCarthy.
Producers Kelleher and Keville previously said: 'A million words have been written about what happened on that fateful week in 2002 on the tiny island of Saipan.
'Next year, audiences will finally get to experience first-hand the feud between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy and why it was labelled 'the worst preparation for a World Cup campaign ever.''

Man Utd hardman Roy Keane shows his softer side with wholesome Instagram post and nine-word message on 54th birthday
FOOTBALL hardman Roy Keane has shown off his softer side with a wholesome Instagram post. Keane celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday by posting a series of heartwarming photos and videos of himself soaking in some sun alongside his family. 6 Roy Keane celebrated his birthday by sharing some wholesome pictures and videos of him and his grandchildren Credit: INSTAGRAM 6 One of the photos saw Keane sunbathing on an inflatable on a swimming pool 6 Keane was seen playing with one of his grandkids on a sandy beach Credit: INSTAGRAM 6 Beaming Keane also posed with his infant grandson, welcomed in April Credit: INSTAGRAM 6 Birthday wishes came pouring in for the now 54-year-old Credit: INSTAGRAM The former midfielder, who was a no-nonsense general during his playing days with the likes of Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, started out his post by showing himself relaxing in a pool. Keane was seen sunbathing on an inflatable while wearing glasses. He captioned the post: "Happy Birthday to me. All the gifts I need." And Keane's next pictures and videos showed exactly what those presents were, as Keane showed he is a big softie at heart with his grandchildren.

He then shared pics of him playing alongside another of his grandchildren with the sand at the beach. The next pic showed him in the pool with two of them, with Keane all smiles as he hogged an inflatable dragon. One of his grandkids was filmed jumping in the pool next, with Keane delighting as he then picked him up and threw him up in the air.

Birthday wishes from scores of his 2.3 million followers and fans came flooding in. Roy Keane takes time to sign autographs for kids at the Cork City game vs Sligo Rovers The Overlap account said: "Happy Birthday Roy!" A fan said: "Have a great one, sir. You're nothing but a breath of fresh air." A second fan added: "Imagine your grandad being Roy Keane man." Boxing coach David Coldwell said: "The main man. Happy Birthday!" A fourth fan joked: "Looking after the grandkids? That's his job." A fifth said: "Birthdays? Do me a favour." Keane has revealed he has three grandchildren, but is usually notoriously protective of his private life. The latest member of the Keane family was welcomed in April, with Keane introducing him to the public via a beaming Instagram post. His daughter, Leah, is engaged to one-cap England and Southampton star Taylor Harwood-Bellis. However, the 23-year-old has likely heeded Keane's advice and kept shtum on talking about their private lives too much. Last month, the former Republic of Ireland international was seen signing an autograph for a kid while he attended a game for his hometown team of Cork City. Keane will doubtless have plenty of chances to show off his famous barbed tongue this season when he returns to the studio as a pundit for Sky Sports. His old club, United, always seem to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons in recent years, and many would be shocked if that did not continue despite talk, once again, of the club heading in a new direction. 6 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW

Laura Whitmore: 'Life happens very quickly'
Laura Whitmore stars in the latest stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, which is based on the hugely successful thriller by Paula Hawkins. John Byrne catches up with her ahead of the Irish leg of the show's tour Who is Laura Whitmore? Or - more to the point - what is Laura Whitmore? As well as doing stuff mere mortals also do - like falling in love and having children - she's also something of a one-person entertainment industry. She's a successful radio and television broadcaster best known for hosting on MTV and the Bafta-winning Love Island, the I'm A Celebrity spin-off show, Celeb Juice, and her own breakfast show on ITV. She launched the documentary series Laura Whitmore Investigates in 2023 and is currently working on a new documentary series, Britain's Killer Teens. That's about as far removed from Love Island as it can get. Also: she currently hosts BBC Podcast, Murder They Wrote alongside Iain Stirling, aka her husband. Not content with all of that, in March 2021 she released her first book, the best-selling No One Can Change Your Life Except For You. Oh yeah, Laura's also an actor. She trained at the Leinster School of Music and Drama, studied Shakespeare at RADA and has worked on stage as well as the small and big screens. She wrote and starred in the award-winning short film Sadhbh, toured in Peter James' Not Dead Enough, and has several film/TV acting credits to her name. In 2022 she made her West End debut as Jenny in 2.22: A Ghost Story and returned home to play Lauren in its Dublin run in 2024. Now she's on her way back to the Irish stage - two of them actually; the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin and Cork's Everyman Theatre - to perform in the smash-hit production of The Girl on the Train. The gripping thriller, based on the internationally acclaimed number one best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins, sees Laura star as the show's central character, Rachel Watson. Catching up with Whitmore ahead of the show's arrival here, the obvious first question is about her outrageously versatile career . . . John Byrne: Hi Laura. I have to say that I read your CV earlier and there was so much there I had to lie down afterwards. I was exhausted. You're obviously a highly motivated individual . . . Laura Whitmore:"It doesn't feel like work, if you love what you do. And I've been lucky to have quite a variety . . . which makes life not boring. And I think, once I feel excited and I feel challenged, that's always been really important to me. "Sometimes I'm better off not thinking (laughs) how am I going to get through next week? That's my mindset. I get really excited by everything that I've done so far and everything I still have to do." Is this all part of a plan, or do you just do whatever you fancy next - or is it maybe a bit of both? "I have a masterplan . . . Honestly, things change as well. When I first started in television, doing Pick Me MTV, and doing the auditions for that, and getting the MTV gig. That was just a year's contract, which ended up becoming seven years. "Then I went to do ITV stuff and radio, and the BBC. But the landscape changes constantly. One of the most consistent things is I do a BBC podcast. And, to be honest with you, I think I'd always prefer radio over a podcast, but actually at the moment I prefer podcasting because it pays better (laughs), and I can record it from anywhere in the world. "And we've got our own audience that we've created ourselves, rather than being the host of a particular show that already exists. You create your own space. I find the world fascinating, how it's constantly changing. And then there's a lot of things that I've always loved to do. "Anyone who knows me - like all my ex-school friends, when they see me coming back to Dublin to do a play - says: 'This is you! This is you!' Life happens very quickly, but I've always had these things that I wanted to do." The Girl on the Train - you read the book and now you're in the play. That must be quite a buzz? "I was a huge fan of the book when it first came out. And the character of Rachel, and [the author] Paula Hawkins, who I met this year. She's written this beautiful - beautifully flawed - character, who I think anyone in the acting world would jump at to play, because there's so much to her. "I've done a bit of acting before. I've done a few roles for telly, and some films, and theatre before - but this one in particular . . . there's just so much on the page. "She goes on such a journey that I'd be mad to turn it down, because I think it's really challenging. And it's scary. But I feel there's so much there that you have, if you give it the time. And I've been doing it for a few weeks over the UK. "I might have been the person who suggested it coming to Ireland (laughs). I had a feeling that the Irish audiences will - I hope - love it. The book did really well over in Ireland. "And I think what the director Loveday Ingram and the whole creative team, the people who worked on the stage screenplay, have created is a beautifully adapted version for the stage." Turning a novel into a play makes it a very different experience for an audience - people who've read the book saw the story unfold through their mind's eye . . . "The question I'm most asked is 'How do you get a train on the stage?' (laughs) It's very cleverly done. There's a lot of lighting; there's a lot of movement. You feel immersed in it. It's very stylised. It's very minimal. It's a minimal set. There's not a lot to it. "But you don't have a second to think, because it's constantly moving. And it really represents what's going on inside this character Rachel's head. "I'm so proud of it. I think it's so clever. I wish I could take credit for the production side of it. I can take credit for my version of Rachel, but I can't take credit for the production. But I think it is very clever and that people will love it." You've played around the UK, but will it feel a bit different for you when the time comes to play Dublin and Cork? These are your own people - you know what we're like! "The aunties will be there, John. My aunties will be there. The real judges! I think Irish people have a high standard when it comes to theatre. And I look at some of the people who have graced our stages. "I actually spoke to someone about this recently - because I do a lot of presenting, and I present TV shows in front of millions of people, and I presented at Wembley and big things - but theatre is particularly intimidating. You can practically hear people breathing. They're that close. "You're very vulnerable - but then you have the joy of being vulnerable as a character. So that almost lets your guard down a little bit more." And you kind of play a character when you're presenting, I'd imagine? Maybe a larger than life version of yourself? "Especially on different shows. I've hosted everything from Love Island and I'm a Celeb, MTV and documentaries. And obviously, the Love Island version of Laura . . . it's still Laura - but it's very different to the documentary-making version of Laura." For another example, you've Britain's Killer Teens coming up on TV in September. There's a totally different tone required for that, as opposed to, say, Love Island. "And it's also very real. "A lot of these families have gone through real-life trauma and it's very hard. But it's also really important issues that I feel strongly we should be talking about. And I admire anyone who is willing to put themselves out there and talk about something so raw and emotional. "Sometimes it's a similar skill set, in some ways, but I love having time with people. Some of the shows I've worked on in the past, you don't have time to kind of talk . . . "We live in a world where everything is like, 'That has to fit into an Instagram page', or go a certain direction, and I love being able to have time to get to know much as you can."
