Colin Farrell film ‘The Ballad Of A Small Player' filming in Macau in Netflix

Edward Berger’s The Ballad Of A Small Player starring Colin Farrell is underway in Macau.

The Netflix feature began shooting in the Chinese region earlier this month with filming also expected in Hong Kong.

Based on Lawrence Osborne’s 2014 novel, Farrell plays a gambler hiding out in Macau after his debts catch up with him. Here, he meets a “kindred spirit” who may have all the answers to his problems. Tilda Swinton and Fala Chen also star. 

The film is produced by Mike Goodridge’s Good Chaos, Berger’s Nine Hours and Matthew James Wilkinson for Stigma Films. Rowan Joffe penned the screenplay.

The Ballad Of A Small Player marks Berger’s first project under his deal with Netflix following the success of All Quiet On The Western Front.
