According to Deadline, Liam will star as John Moore, a premiere horse trainer in the west of Ireland who loses everything he cherishes and almost forgets to live.
He then meets a teenage refugee called Nadya who has fled her own horrors, and now finds herself in a confounding new world.
Their only connection to each other is a horse, Annabelle, who brings them together for one last race.

“Liam Neeson is one of the world’s most beloved actors, thanks to unforgettable performances in films ranging from Schindler’s List to Love Actually, so we’re thrilled to have Liam return to Ireland with a character-driven film like The Trainer,” Gabrielle Stewart, managing director of HanWay Films, told the publication.
“He and Neil are a great pairing and David Donohue’s, James Villemaire’s and Todd Komarnicki’s script provides us a beautiful and life-affirming story of a man learning to live again.”
The trainer is set to commence principal photography in Ireland next summer.
