Sinead O’Connor ‘was in talks for biopic about her life’ weeks before death and wanted two BIG Hollywood stars to play pivotal roles

In the days leading up to her tragic passing, music sensation Sinead O’Connor was rumored to have been involved in discussions about an upcoming biopic inspired by her life.

According to insiders, the iconic artist was considering a star-studded cast for the pivotal role, including Hollywood’s Demi Moore.

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan was also in the running to play an earlier stage in Sinead’s life, as well as Niamh Algar.

The film would be based on her June 2021 autobiography Rememberings.

A source told The sun: ‘Sinéad was eager to explore how she could incorporate her memoir into her film and she had all sorts of ideas about how it would look on screen.

“She had tremendous respect for Demi and thought Niamh was a real rising star after seeing her on her TV series The Virtues.

“Sinéad also found Saoirse fierce and loved her from her 2015 film Brooklyn in which she played an Irish migrant.”

The source explained that when exploring initial concepts for the film, Sinead liked the idea of ​​a “triptych approach” and envisioned a film that would showcase three different actresses.

They added that this creative direction playfully alluded to the Catholic Church’s symbolic trinity of father, son, and the Holy Spirit, adding a touch of satire to the story.

According to the publication, Sinéad’s management company had planned an album and tour, as well as the biopic.

More than 3,000 people gathered in her hometown to mourn the star with sobs as they sang “Nothing Compares to U” in a touching final farewell following her sudden death in London last month.

Sinéad’s eulogy said she “suffered more than her share of hardship and adversity.”

Imam Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri added, “Gifted with a voice that moved a generation of young people, she could bring listeners to tears through her otherworldly resonance.

Cool cast: According to insiders, Sinead envisioned a movie that would spotlight three different actresses she hoped would be Hollywood’s Demi Moore

Big favourite: Irish actress Saoirse Ronan was also supposedly in the running with insiders saying Sinead fiercely and loved her in the 2015 movie Brooklyn

Top three: Niamh Algar, who starred in The Virtue and Raised by Wolves, is thought to have also been on Sinead’s radar

‘Sinéad’s voice had an undertone of hope, of finding the way home.

“The Irish people have long found comfort in singing the sufferings of this lower abode, and Sinéad was no exception, and in sharing that comfort she brought joy to countless people all over the world.”

Sinéad – who struggled with her mental health for years – rose to fame in 1990 after her cover of the then-unreleased Prince song from Nothing Compares 2 U.

On Friday, John van Jedward paid a touching tribute to the fellow Irish star with an emotional cover of the song.
