Hugh Jackman says filming in Tipperary was 'incredible'
Director Sarnoski confirmed that shooting wrapped at the Rock of Cashel, stepping in for the famous Sherwood Forest
Aussie actor Hugh Jackman said that filming at the Rock of Cashel was ‘incredible’.
Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment while promoting The Death of Robin Hood, the actor said:
“Our last day of shooting at the Rock of Cashel was something I'll never forget. It was, like, 16 degrees and sunny that day... It was incredible."
"I had this weird rule from drama school days when I did Brian Friel's Translations and we learned all about the history," he recounted. "And, of course, for every Australian, Ireland, it feels like a brother."
"So, I had this weird rule of, 'I'm not going to Ireland unless it's a minimum three weeks because there's no way you can understand it'. Like Australia - you can't go to Australia for a weekend and understand it”.
"I turned down a couple of 'We're going for the weekend', and I was like, 'Nope!' And so, as soon as I got this movie, I was like, 'Yeah'."
According to Movie Walks, the director Michael Sarnoski confirmed that shooting wrapped at the infamous Rock of Cashel, and that the crew spotted a grassy hill near a wall and decided to film a scene there on the spot.
