Limerick streets will transform into 1990s America.
Liam Neeson has begun filming a major Irish-American Hollywood production in Limerick.
'4 Kids Walk Into a Bank' is a dark heist comedy adapted from a comic book and will transform the streets of Limerick into 1990s America.
The Ballymena-born star will play former bank robber Danny, whose teenage granddaughter Paige means the world to him. When the teen overhears Danny’s former criminal associates are forcing him to help them pull one last job, she enlists her three best friends to rob a bank.
Upper Denmark Street, Robert Street, Little Gerald Griffin Street and Cornmarket Row were closed yesterday to facilitate filming.
Road users are being advised that the Pery Square area will be closed for the rest of the week for production.
The film is produced by Wild Atlantic Pictures and will star Talia Ryder ( Never Rarely Sometimes Always), Noah Jupe ( A Quiet Place), Whitney Peak ( Gossip Girl), Jack Dylan Grazer ( It) and Deacon Phillippe — Reese Witherspoon’s son.
The project will also be in collaboration with Film in Limerick and Robbers Productions DAC, who will help with set design and the sourcing of vintage vehicles.
