Streaming giant Netflix is set to start filming a new movie in Belfast. 

 

The entertainment service is to start production on The School For Good and Evil at Belfast Harbour Studios immediately.

 

The film, directed by Paul Feig, is based on a best-selling series of young adult fantasy novels by Soman Chainani and follows a group of girls and boys who are taken to an institution and trained to become fairy tale-like heroes and villains.

 

Netflix will use the full 125,000 sq ft of studio, workshop and office space in Belfast Harbour Studios for what will be its first film where the bulk of the production will be shot in Northern Ireland.

One of the most successful TV shows of all time, Game of Thrones, was mainly shot in Ireland, as was Vikings, Line of Duty, The Borgias, The Tudors, Penny Dreadful, Ripper Street, and many more. Lots of studio space, local talent, and visually appealing locations.
