Film to be shot in Gdansk about Irish patriot, Connolly
The Polish port of Gdansk is to provide the backdrop for a new film based on the life of Irish patriot James Connolly.
Connolly - executed for his role in the 1916 Easter Rising - will be played by Peter Mullan of Trainspotting fame.
The film, due to be filmed in late 2008 or 2009, will be shot in Poland because Dublin has become far too modern.
"Dublin has become Google city," said Tom Stokes of Rascal Films.
"All the old docklands buildings have been obliterated.
"Gdansk is one of the few ports that still have the big, old, red-brick warehouses that once dominated Dublin's docklands.
