The luck of the Irish has come to the movies. The streak that began with Jim Sheridan's My Left Foot and The Field has continued with The Miracle, The Commitments, Hear My Song, The Playboys, and the recently released Tom Cruise vehicle, Far and Away. And there's more to come: INTO THE WEST Jim Sheridan scripted this story of two motherless boys who take off on a white horse they believe to be magical. Gabriel Byrne and Ellen Barkin star. (Fall '92)
THE CRYING GAME This comedy-thriller about seduction, murder, cricket, and false teeth was written and directed by Neil Jordan (The Miracle) and features Miranda Richardson and Forest Whitaker. (Fall '92)
TWENTY YEARS A-GROWING Gregory Peck plays an Irish grandfather in this drama set on the Blasket Islands and based on an unfinished script by Dylan Thomas. Colin Firth costars. (In development)
THE MICK Kevin Costner's TIG Productions remains tight-lipped about this biographical drama, in which Costner would play 1920s revolutionary Michael Collins. The film, which was being set up with the financially troubled Orion Pictures, is, according to a TIG spokeswoman, ''On the back burner, but not dead.''
