Neil Jordan is set to direct Breakfast on Pluto for Pathe Pictures this year, reports Variety.

Set in the 1960s and 1970s, pic is a black comedy starring Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later) as Patrick Brady, an abandoned child who escapes from his foster home in small-town Ireland to become a transvestite and a performer in London.

In an echo of The Crying Game, cross-dressing is mixed with Irish politics, as Kitten's quest for his family unfolds against the backdrop of paramilitary violence.

Jordan has adapted the screenplay from the 1998 Booker-shortlisted novel by Patrick McCabe (The Butcher Boy). Jordan will film the movie in September.
