This is from July, but seems to confirm Sean is in it and makes me wonder which role he is playing.

Over the stable door: Actor’s mart appearance sets tongues wagging

There was heightened excitement amidst the sheep pens at Skipton livestock auction last Monday when the actor Sean Bean was spotted unloading sheep from a trailer. Word quickly spread that the Sheffield-born actor must have abandoned a lucrative acting career to take up shepherding.

“He was in that Game of Thrones programme mi’ son watches,” one farmer muttered to another.

 “Aye. ‘Appen his fallen on hard times since they killed him off. Not sure he’ll make much of a living farming sheep though,” the other chuckled.

Both were proved wrong when a vast entourage of film crew and cameras followed the actor as he attempted to drive the sheep into a pen.

The actor and his crew were shooting a film called Dark River written by the acclaimed Yorkshire director Clio Bernard. The story may be one which many farming folk can relate to and is an adaptation of Rose Tremain’s novel Trespass.

Using prior movies as a reference point, Sean's characters don't usually have a great time when it comes to farm animals: death by cow in "The Field" and just the spooky weirdness of the sheep in "The Dark".

I wonder if there is more than one time line - if he might be the father. If he is, he is nasty man.

Harry Escott Scoring ‘Dark River’ and ‘Journeyman’

Quote
Harry Escott is scoring the upcoming British thriller Dark River. The film is written and directed by Clio Barnard and stars Ruth Wilson, Sean Bean and Mark Stanley. The movie follows a woman who returns to her home village for the first time time in 15 years after the death of her father, to claim the tenancy to the family farm she believes is rightfully hers. Tracy O’Riordan is producing the Film4, Left Bank Pictures and Moonspun Films production. Escott has previously collaborated with Barnard on her previous two features, The Selfish Giant and The Arbor. Dark River is expected to be released in the UK in 2017.

This is good news, although "Dark River" may be dark indeed, judging from his music from "Shame."

Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2017: #51. Clio Barnard’s Dark River

Quote
  Dark River

 Director: Clio Barnard
 Writer: Clio Barnard

 Clio Barnard became an instant filmmaker of note with her compellingly crafted 2010 documentary The Arbor and then followed it up with her narrative debut, 2013’s The Selfish Giant, a kitchen sink coming-of-age drama. Her next project is described as a mystery thriller about a woman who returns to her home town after the death of her father. Having been absent for fifteen years, she seems to think she’ll be able to usurp the property left to her but apparently somebody else thinks otherwise. Featuring Ruth Wilson (of television’s “The Affair” and a recent lead in moody genre piece I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and the dependable Sean Bean, it promises to be another interesting evolution for the enigmatic director.

 Cast: Ruth Wilson, Sean Bean, Mark Stanley

 Production Co./Producer(s): Film4, Left Bank Pictures, Moonspun Films.

 U.S. Distributor: Rights available.

 Release Date: Barnard premiered out of Tribeca with The Arbor, the success of which helped her snag a Cannes berth in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar in 2013. Considering she went home with a SACD prize from Cannes, the festival would be a choice return for Barnard, currently in post-production.

15 UK and Irish films to tempt festival directors in 2017

Quote
Dark River
Dir Clio Barnard

Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley and Sean Bean star in Barnard’s Yorkshire-set drama about a young woman who has to confront traumatic memories when she returns home to the family farm. A Cannes slot is a possibility if the film is ready in time, as Barnard’s The Selfish Giant premiered in Directors’ Fortnight in 2013.

Because it's a "small" movie (compared to those specifically designed to be blockbusters), it may be a low item on the studio priority list. It may have a smaller than average group of people working on the hundreds of things in post production each film needs in order to be premiered or released, so it gets worked on when there is time for it. So, this makes the post production painfully long.

Cannes 2017: who's in the running?
Quote

Screen investigates which films from around the world could launch on the Croisette, including on opening night.


With just over a month to go before the line-up for this year’s Cannes Film Festival is unveiled in Paris, Croisette predictions and wish lists are hitting the web thick and fast.

Screen’s network of correspondents and contributors around the world have been putting out feelers to get a sense of what might or might not make it to the Palais du Cinéma or one of the parallel sections.

Just like the Oscars, this year’s festival is likely to unfold amid a politically-charged atmosphere. Beyond Trump and the rise of populism across the globe, France will be digesting the result of its own presidential election on May 7. Against this background, the festival will be feting its 70th edition.

Below, Screen reveals which titles might - and might not - be in the running for a place at the world’s most prestigious film festival (scroll to end for opening film possibilities).

UK and Ireland

Other hotly tipped UK productions include Garth Davis’s Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara as the devoted follower of Jesus Christ; Clio Barnard’s visceral sibling drama Dark River,

Cannes Wish List: 50 Films That Have a Serious Shot at the 2017 Festival Lineup
Quote
The glamorous French gathering is notorious for waiting until the last minute before locking in every slot for its Official Selection. That includes competition titles, out of competition titles, a small midnight section and the Un Certain Regard sidebar. Cannes announces the bulk of its selections in Paris on April 13, but until then, there are plenty of ways to make educated guesses. Much of the reporting surrounding the upcoming festival selection is simply lists of films expected to come out this year

Quote
“Dark River”
Director: Clio Barnard
 Cast: Ruth Wilson, Sean Bean, Mark Stanley
WHY IT MIGHT GET IN: Barnard’s richly creative experimental documentary “The Arbor” was a sleeper hit in the arthouse world and announced her as a major new voice to follow. Her follow-up heartbreaker, “The Selfish Giant,” debuted in the Director’s Fortnight section back in 2013, and put a fresh spin on the Oscar Wilde story of the same name. Barnard is due for much wider recognition, and her latest feature — complete with her most well-known cast yet — seems like just the film to do it.

I guess he's the father as Mark Stanley's character is Joe Bell.
