Roy Keane memorably left the Republic of Ireland's 2002 World Cup training camp following a fallout with his one-time teammate turned manager Mick McCarthy.

Now, the story of what went on behind the scenes is set to be told in a film dramatisation starring fellow Cork native Éanna Hardwicke in the role of Keane.

The feud that split a nation... Starring Éanna Hardwicke as Roy Keane and Steve Coogan as Mick McCarthy, watch the teaser trailer for #SaipanFilm - kicking off in Irish and UK cinemas soon. #ChooseYourSide #HereWeGo #COYBIG @WAPictures @BanksideFilms @ScreenIreland
