Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt are teaming for "Downfall" director Oliver Hirschbiegel's "Five Minutes of Heaven" says the trades.

Penned by Guy Hibbert, "Heaven" revolves around two men whose lives have been wracked by the violence that plagued Northern Ireland from the late 1960s through to the peace process in 1998, and how they attempt to come to terms with the after-effects.

Eoin O'Callaghan is producing for BBC Northern Ireland and Element Pictures.
