Could you clear something up for me, as I swear I heard a hint of it in the film - did you give Bertie a slight German accent?

Noir crime-fiction writer Ken Bruen’s work has become a hot commodity in Hollywood this past year and now it appears Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan (The Departed) is on the shortlist to direct a second Bruen adaptation: Once Were Cops. Joining Monahan on the shortlist is Animal Kingdom writer/helmer David Michôd. Despite Monahan having already worked an adaptation on Bruen’s Brit-noir London Boulevard (which hits U.K. theatres next week), of the two, it would appear that Michôd would have the slight advantage, he is in award season mode, while Monahan might feasibly be working on screenplay material. Also on board Once Were Cops are writer David Logan (Circus) and producers Gil Adler (Superman Returns) and Steven Sawalich (Music Within.) Gist: Here's the complete book synopsis -- Michael O'Shea is a member of Ireland's police force, known as The Guards. He's also a sociopath who walks a knife-edge between sanity and all-out mayhem.
