Re-teaming with long-time collaborator Neil Jordan, Liam Neeson has signed on to star in The Trainer.

In a change of pace from his usual punchtastic fare, Neeson will play John Moore, a top horse trainer living in the west of Ireland who suffers a tragedy that sees him lose everything he cares for. Retreating from his life and work, he's finally coaxed back out into the world by the powerhouse combo of a teenage refugee in need and a horse called Allabelle. 

"Liam Neeson is one of the world’s most beloved actors, so we’re thrilled to have Liam return to Ireland with a character-driven film like The Trainer,” HanWay Films' tells Deadline. “He and Neil are a great pairing and David Donohue’s, James Villemaire’s and Todd Komarnicki’s script provides us a beautiful and life-affirming story of a man learning to live again."

Filming should take place this Summer.
