Emily Blunt is one of the stars of Walk the Blue Fields.
Filming for a new movie starring Andrew Scott and Emily Blunt will take place over two days in a town located in the heart of Wicklow.
The feature-film titled Walk in the Blue Fields is being produced by Element Pictures and is based on a short story by author Clare Keegan. The screenplay is by playwright and director Conor McPherson, with Brooklyn’s John Crowley directing the drama.
The film’s cast also includes Ciarán Hinds and Tom Cullen and the story follows a woman on her wedding day being confronted with a heart-wrenching decision, as a love triangle from her past threatens to be revealed.
Filming will be taking place over two days in Rathdrum, from 11am to 9pm on Wednesday, March 11, and from 10am to 8pm on Tuesday, March 24.
They will be filming outside St Saviour’s Church, some driving scenes on the bridge and along the road to the roundabout.
They will not be closing any roads or diverting traffic, but they will be temporarily holding traffic for a short time to facilitate the filming.
The gardaà and a traffic management company will be assisting with the traffic control and will endeavour to minimise the impact on the day-to-day life of Rathdrum.
To facilitate the filming they will need to park their equipment trucks in the Parnell Memorial Park on both of the filming days, with a result that parking will be severely restricted. They will not be filming on or near the square or main street.
Rathdrum is a noted filming location, and key movies shot in or around Rathdrum include Michael Collins, A Love Divided, Durango and A Terrible Beauty.
