Colin Farrell to play sexy Oliver North for Yorgos Lanthimos’ Amazon series

According to Variety, Colin Farrell will be reuniting with Lobster director Yorgos Lanthimos for a new Amazon miniseries about Oliver North and the Iran-Contra scandal. Naturally, handsome Irishman Colin Farrell will play not-so-disgraced military man Oliver North, and though we don’t know much about the specifics of the project, Lanthimos says it will be “quite different” from what they’ve previously done together. He also notes that Amazon has “embraced the project with great enthusiasm” and adds that Oliver North’s story “feels very fresh and relevant to our times.”
