Hugh Jackman's Robin Hood Shot Entirely in NI
Starring Jackman, Jodie Comer, and Bill Skarsgård, the film used 7 Northern Ireland locations
The Death of Robin Hood, a film starring Hugh Jackman as the titular character, was filmed entirely in Northern Ireland. The region's diverse landscapes and authenticity made it an ideal location for the production.
The film is based on a 17th Century ballad of the outlaw Robin Hood and features a small cast, including Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, and Noah Jupe. Filming locations included Silent Valley, Glenarm, and Murlough Bay, with production based at Belfast Harbour Studios.
The film's post-production process was completed at Yellow Moon in Holywood. Other locations used for filming included Strangford and Bushmills. Tabitha Smyth, a Belfast actress, played a small role in the film as Sarah, alongside the A-list cast.
According to Smyth, Northern Ireland was the perfect place to film due to its diverse landscapes, which can be easily accessed within a short distance. This made it an attractive location for productions like The Death of Robin Hood, which is set hundreds of years ago.
## Why it matters The film industry has been growing in Northern Ireland, with the region becoming a popular location for big-budget productions. The diverse landscapes and authenticity of the region make it an ideal location for filming period dramas like The Death of Robin Hood. The success of this production is likely to attract more filmmakers to the region, boosting the local economy and providing opportunities for local talent.
The Death of Robin Hood presents a darker, less family-friendly version of the medieval hero, with Hugh Jackman playing the reflective, battle-weary titular character at the end of his life. With its unique take on the classic legend and stunning landscapes, the film is set to be a hit with audiences worldwide.
