The official trailer and poster for the new feature-length comedy Fran the Man have been released, set to come out exclusively in Irish cinemas nationwide on April 11.

Written by Richie Conroy (Crá, Malory Towers) and directed by Stephen Bradley (Last One Laughing, Noble), the comedy mockumentary is based on the much-loved original TV show Fran, which aired from 2009-2011.

It stars Darragh Humphreys, reprising his role as Fran Costello. He is joined by an ensemble of Irish talent including Ardal O’Hanlon, Amy Huberman, Risteárd Cooper, Toni O’Rourke and Deirdre O’Kane.

The film tells the story of St Peter’s Celtic and their tough upcoming clash with titans Shamrock Rovers in the first round of the FAI Cup. Fran Costello, assistant manager, carries the hope that his team will pull off one of the greatest shocks in football history, but things quickly take a turn for the worse.
