Trailer for Saipan movie starring Steve Coogan

  • The film SAIPAN released a 76-second teaser trailer about the 2002 confrontation between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy during World Cup preparations.
  • The confrontation stemmed from a dispute over training facilities in Saipan that led to Keane leaving the Ireland squad before the tournament.
  • SAIPAN stars Steve Coogan as McCarthy and Anna Hardwicke as Keane, with the rivalry described as deeply emotive and surpassing the sport itself.
  • The trailer received mixed reactions, with some fans and commentators criticizing Keane’s actor for lack of resemblance while praising Coogan’s portrayal of McCarthy.
  • The film, produced with support from Screen Ireland and others, plans to release later this year and aims to present a definitive account of this divisive sporting feud.
