RTE reports:
Star Wars makers Lucasfilm and Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board have confirmed that filming on Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to take place along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Lucasfilm’s Vice President of Physical Production, Candice Campos, said the company was “thrilled” to come back.
I wonder what they really make of it though.
That land-speeder looks suspiciously like a 1997 Nissan Almera. Budgetary problems?
Superb news. Recommend Achill. Place could do with the economic reward as the infrastructure is already there and certified.
love Achill. what do you mean by infrastructure being there and certified?
My money’s on the Cliffs of Moher. Walking Clahane about 3 weekends ago on a fairly grey and cold Sunday afternoon, there were two small civilian helicopters in the air around that area for over an hour, flying the coastline. At somewhere around the €750/hr mark per machine, someone was spending a lotta dough to get a view of the cliffs through the mist.
Most of islanders could play in an alien bar scene.
Ha! Showing my age now, but some sort of Guinness “Tá siad at teacht” ad mashup with the Mos Eisley cantina would be good.
*ag* . Ducking Cromwellian predictive text.
Starring Sy O’Snootles and the Rebo Ceili Band…..
I like it, take my galactic standard credits!
There is only one Sheik Yahbouti
That’s your problem pal.
There’s two sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq.
He’s not messing.
There’s two of them.
They’ll be using CGI to erase all the bungalows around Achill. Place is ruined with everyone wanting a piece of the the view.
They’re shooting all around Kerry, there’s been some crew in dingle already
“They’re shooting all around Kerry”….
Paul Williams just did a sex wee reading that.
Anything can happen when the Healey Rae’s get excited
did you write ‘sex wee’ or was that some BS cleansing?
I think he meant sex pee
This is why I like you Bertie.
Funny and brief.
I like him too.
Dún Aonghasa would look really spectacular
Calm down boys…
This is Star Wars. It’s going to be disappointing. That’s what Star Wars does.
Don’t get your Y-fronts in a twist in anticipation, then say it’s not as good as you were led to believe it was going to be. You always do that.
It’s Star Wars. It’s going to be disappointing.
The last one was decent in 3d
I could agree with you, but you’d have to ‘f’orce’ me to watch it first.*
*-see what I did there? It’s a joke for nerds…forget it…it doesn’t matter.
Not the first time
You used your Han, Solo
Is it Mammie?
