Wicklow wine seller seeks compensation for ‘lost profit' during filming

The owner of a business in the quaint Wicklow village of Enniskerry – which has been used as a location for film shoots as far back as Captain Lightfoot, starring Rock Hudson in 1955, to the more recent production of Disenchanted – has complained that he has not been sufficiently compensated following a shoot for a new series, which took place over a week in April.
The producers of 12 Dates of Christmas, which stars Mae Whitman, Mary McDonnell and Jane Seymour in a six-episode limited series in the works for Hallmark, were granted a licence by Wicklow County Council to film in Enniskerry from Monday, April 7 to Friday, April 11.

The filming locations around Ireland you'll see in Wednesday season two

One of the fun things about watching something that has been shot in Ireland is recognising areas you're familiar with. Wednesday season two moved production from Romania to the Emerald Isle for season two and set up camp in Ashford Studios for the majority of the shoot. However, they did venture out to the surrounding areas on multiple occasions so, here are some of the locations Irish viewers might spot in Wednesday season 2. The Powerscourt Waterfall Pic: FLPA/Shutterstock While Enniskerry is a popular spot for filming, with Disney's Disenchanted turning the village into a fairytale, the Powerscourt Estate has been used by multiple productions over the years. For Wednesday, the waterfall and gardens are used, and you should be able to glimpse them in part one of the second season. Then Irish Minister for Arts Sport and Tourism, John O'Donoghue visited the movie set of Becoming Jane starring Anne Hathaway, James McAvoy and Julie Walters at Charleville Forest Castle in 2006 Pic: ShowbizIreland/Getty Images While the exterior and many of the classrooms and dorms of Nevermore Academy are sets built at the studio, there are some aspects of the school that are actually from Charleville Castle in County Offaly. The castle was previously used in Becoming Jane and The Tudors, and in Wednesday, it serves as the corridors of Nevermore. Joanna Lumley as Grandmama in Wednesday Pic: Owen Behan/Netflix Would it be an Addams Family-centred series without a graveyard or two? Dublin's Deansgrange Cemetary was the location of choice for the Wednesday team and they also rebuilt a segment at the studio for some pick up shots. Wednesday season two is shot in Ireland Pic: Netflix Parts of Glendalough, Roundwood, and Kilternan were also used for scenes. Geek Ireland's Olivia Fahy on the set of Wednesday in Ashford Studios Pic: Netflix While you wouldn't know the difference between the sets and the real world locations, there will be one segment in part two that fans of another show might spot. As Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton revealed at the Global Press Conference, they took over some of the sets used in Vikings Valhalla for the show's Pilgrim World celebrations. See if you can spot it when part two drops in September.

Wicklow film firm used by Baz Ashmawy appeals refusal of new studio

Remedy Storage, which which has recently supported the production of the Baz Ashmawy-directed series 'Faithless', has challenged Wicklow County Council's decision to refuse permission for a film studio expansion in Bray An appeal has been lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanála over the refusal by Wicklow County Council in respect of an application for a television and film hub, with a self-storage storage yard, for a Bray firm which has recently supported the production of Faithless, the show directed and starring Baz Ashmawy.
