Sean Cronin is best known for playing villains in some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, including James Bond, Harry Potter and The Mummy, now he is set to direct the life story of disabled football fan Paul Hodgson. The film is titled Give Them Wings and Britflicks is proud to get a chance to speak Sean before he goes into production with the movie later in 2015.

The story is astounding:
When he was ten months old, Paul suffered meningitis that left him unable to move and speak, his father has never been able to accept his son’s disability. Paul’s passion for football drives him to make a difference to his life despite his afflictions. Desperate to escape his fathers bullying, Paul makes the bold decision to leave home and eventually his mother Alice decides to accompany him. After Alice suffers a serious stroke and develops Alzheimers, Paul refuses to allow his mother to deteriorate alone in a care home. Soon Jane arrives to help out and an emotional relationship between Paul and herself develops, but will their affair flourish or fail when a devastating incident occurs? Will Paul allow his disability to hold him back from his dreams? Will his father ever accept him?
