The Michael Collins duo are back together.

Deadline are reporting that Liam Neeson will be starring in in horse-training drama The Trainer, directed by Neil Jordan. The pair have worked before on Michael Collins and Breakfast on Pluto. In The Trainer, Neeson plays “John Moore, a premier horse trainer in the west of Ireland who, beset by tragedy, loses everything he cherishes and almost forgets to live. Into his life comes a teenage refugee, Nadya, who has fled her own horrors and now finds herself in a confounding new world. Their only connection to themselves, and ultimately to their own hearts, is a horse called Allabelle, who is about to prove that they may all have one race left inside of them.” Principal photography is set to begin in the west of Ireland next summer. Neeson has been a busy man of late with roles in Martin Scorsese's new film Silence, the gothic fantasy A Monster Calls and finally, Operation Chromite, in which he plays Douglas MacArthur.
