After spending a prolonged time filming in Ireland, Hugh Jackman has said he would love to live on Irish land.
The Death of Robin Hood is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski with Jackman in the starring role.
In a recent interview with John Fardy on Screen Time, Jackman shared how he discovered many areas in Ireland that he would love to move to.
"It was a dream. I'd always wanted to go to Ireland and spend an extended amount of time there, so as soon as I knew we were shooting in Ireland, which was Mike's choice, I was just thrilled," Jackman said.
"It was incredible. The crew were incredible. We were shooting on location, so we would just stay wherever close to the set and just sort of hang out. I just loved every second of it and I can't wait to go back. Everywhere I was, I was like, 'I want to live there. I want to live here," he continued.
Adding to the conversation, Sarnoski explained the thought process on their decision to film in Ireland.
"It's beautiful and compact. Everything we shot was about within an hour of Belfast. You get these bleak, Mourne Mountains, this gorgeous north coast, these old castles and churches and beautiful forests, and it was all accessible," Sarnoski said.
"I don't think we could have... We scouted other places. We scouted the highlands of Scotland. We scouted Lake District. But none of these spots had everything we needed within this little footprint. For an indie movie that shot in 30 days, we kind of needed that. And then on top of that, these crews, they kind of came up on Game of Thrones and this is their bread and butter, and they just know how to do this. They know how to, in February, lug stuff up a mountain while it's pouring rain and have a smile on their face the whole time. It was lovely," he added.
