Irish-Swedish Film Maze Set for Cork

The two actors are starring in the Irish-Swedish production Maze and will be roaming around the chosen location of Cork for the 4 week shoot.
The recently decommissioned Cork Prison and its surroundings offered the ideal location shooting for the prison film Maze. The film will recount the true events of the notorious 1983 prison break of 38 IRA prisoners from HMP. This was monumental in its nature, eventually becoming the largest prison break in Europe since World War II.
Love/Hate's Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and IFTA Rising Star nominee Barry Ward are leading the cast with the script and direction courtesy of Stephen Burke. Maze has received funding from the IFB and RTÉ along with Cork City and County Council providing regional support. It's hoped that the film will bring wide-spread coverage to the potential Cork has as a shooting location.
“We see Film In Cork playing a key role in helping position Cork on the national and international stage as a prime location for all types of production - film and television - and we are delighted that working closely with the producers it has been possible to bring MAZE to Cork," Rossa Mullin of Film in Cork boasted "[it] is a tremendous opportunity for us to showcase what Cork has to offer to an international audience, which can only be a great thing for the region.”
No date has yet been given on the release date of Maze but we will keep you updated as always.
