“The Riker’s Ghost” is staged with an Oscar winner Neil Jordan a very good acquaintance of Neeson. Because it’s far from their first collaboration. The Irish actor first appeared in front of the camera for his compatriot in the 1988 fantasy comedy “High Spirits – Die Geister sind willig”. This was followed by the title role in the historical drama “Michael Collins” and a supporting role in “Breakfast on Pluto”. Most recently, the duo shot the film noir “Marlowe”, which has already been screened at a number of festivals, but has not yet been released in Germany.
