Our own Domhnall Gleeson is set to star in a deadly new Netflix movie

Domhnall Gleeson has been making waves all over the world recently, and now he's signed himself on to star in a new Netflix movie.

The Dublin actor is going to star alongside Saturday Night Live's Will Forte in a film about the US satirical magazine National Lampoon.

The mag ceased publication in 1998, but was a major success in the 70s and 80s.

The flick is an adaptation from Josh Karp's book A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenny and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever, with Domhnall taking on the role of the mag's boss Henry Beard.

As Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to film in Ireland in May, there's just no stopping this Dublin man.
