The son of Oscar-nominated actor Cillian Murphy has been cast in a major Hollywood film.
According to the Irish Film and Television Network (IFTN), Aran Murphy will make his feature film debut in 'Klara and the Sun', which stars Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega and Oscar-nominated actress, Amy Adams (Arrival).
The Taika Waititi directed flick tells the story of Klara (Ortega), an artificial friend designed to prevent loneliness.
Klara is bought by a mother (Adams) for her teenage daughter Josie (Mia Tharia), who loves her robot companion but suffers from a mysterious illness.
Murphy - who previously starred in the stage adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet - debuts as Josie's best friend and next door neighbour.
The film has been adapted from the Kazuo Ishiguro novel of the same name by screenwriter Dahvi Waller.
