A biopic of Sinead O'Connor is being created, with backing from companies involved in the 2022 documentary about her. Josephine Decker will direct the film, and Stacey Gregg will write the script. Production companies include See-Saw Films and Nine Daughters. The film will chronicle O'Connor's early years in the music industry and illustrate how she garnered global fame while spotlighting her activism against the Catholic church and the Irish state. O'Connor passed away in 2023, leaving behind a legacy of significant hits and controversies.
O'Connor died in 2023, aged 56, after a string of hit records including the huge-selling Nothing Compares 2 U in 1990, and a tumultuous life marked with outspoken protest and controversy.
The film will follow O'Connor's early years in the music industry, telling the story of how one young woman from Dublin took on the world.
Her global fame may have been built on her talent, but her name became synonymous with her efforts to draw attention to the crimes committed by the Catholic church and the Irish state.
The script will be by Stacey Gregg, who has credits on TV series Mary and George, Little Birds and The Letter for the King.
