“Visually arresting locations that haven’t been overused in movies? Check.
Highly skilled and experienced crews? Check.
Financial incentive program that actually works? Check.
Fond memories and great footage? Check.
In other words, if you’re a filmmaker, Ireland rocks.”
Quote by Steven Soderbergh, Director of HAYWIRE, shot on location in Dublin
Let’s hope we win an Oscar!
You are always welcome here at Russborough but this time our doors are more than just open! We are now being captured internationally as Russborough is used as a top location on the latest Stephen Soderbergh movie.
This movie clearly is not for the faint hearted with Gina Carano kicking and punching her way from scene to scene but we were thrilled to hear her say
“Russborough, remember Russborough, not a who but a where, a place”. Haywire 2012, Gina Carano.
Russborough is indeed a beautiful, Palladian mansion, worthy of the big Hollywood screen but we still appreciate that it has finally been recognized internationally and respected by Stephen Soderbergh and we think Russborough gave a truly powerful performance! Ok, we know …. just as Gina reminded us it’s a not a who but a place and it was truly thrilling for us all to see Russborough shine on the big screen!
We hope you go and check out the movie, but make sure you eat lightly before hand! Well done Stephen and all the crew! We wish you lots of success with your movie release! Let’s hope we all win an oscar….
