Jim Sheridan's Re-Creation, inspired by Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder, to premiere at Tribeca Film Festival

Jim Sheridan's Re-Creation will have its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.

The legendary Irish filmmaker's latest feature imagines what would have happened if Sophie Toscan du Plantier's unresolved murder had been judged in Ireland, following the perspective of a jury debating the real-life facts of the case.

Co-written and co-directed by David Merriman, Re-Creation stars Vicky Krieps (who will also feature in the upcoming Hot Milk), Sheridan himself, Aidan Gillen and Colm Meany.

Fellow Irish production The Wolf, The Fox and The Leopard will also premiere at the festival. According to the logline, the film follows "a feral girl who has spent her life living among wolves," who is "taken on an odyssey through contemporary human life while the threat of climate apocalypse looms."

The Wolf, The Fox and The Leopard has been written and directed by David Verbeek, and stars Jessica Reynolds, Nicholas Pinnock, and Marie Jung.

The 2025 Tribeca Film Festival will open on June 4 with the world premiere of Billy Joel: And So It Goes, directed by Emmy winners Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin.

The festival will also feature the world premiere of Miley Cyrus' visual film for her upcoming album Something Beautiful, followed by an exclusive conversation with the pop star.

Other films include Everything's Going to Be Great, starring Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney; Tow, with Rose Byrne, Demi Lovato and Octavia Spencer; The Best You Can, starring Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick; Rosemead, with Lucy Liu; Dragonfly with Andrea Riseborough, and the live-action How to Train Your Dragon,
