DeVito film brings cinema stars to Ireland

FILM legend Danny DeVito is set to direct a €20 million movie here next year starring Morgan Freeman and Pierce Brosnan.

Producer Tristan Orpen Lynch said the film, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, was a fantastic children’s adventure based on a bestselling novel set in the 1830s.

It has been planned to shoot the movie in the US but after meeting with DeVito and his producers in LA, the Irish Film Board facilitated a location scout to visit this country last spring.
