Wow, now here's a bit of amazing casting, Richard Chamberlain (most famous for Thorn Birds, but for me he'll always be Aramis in the Musketeer films), Vinnie Jones and Michael Madsen all together in the same film! Fantastic! Apparently they are set to star in a film called Strength and Honour, a boxing film set in Ireland.

The story from Production Weekly through Rope of Silicon sounds quite interesting:

Sean Kelleher, a boxer who promises his dying wife he will never box again after accidentally killing his friend in the ring. He is forced to break his oath in order to raise funds to save his young son, who has been diagnosed with the same life threatening condition that took his wife.

Madsen, will star as the grieving father Sean Kellegher, with Jones taking the role of Smasher O’Driscoll, his arch rival and foe. Veteran actor Chamberlain, will play Madsen’s boxing coach.

All that pales into insignificance for me as the excitement of seeing these three names together and all for different reasons. Madsen versus Vinnie and Chamberlain thrown into the mix for some fantastic acting and gravitas? Oh sign me up now.
