North’s Maze breakout film to be shot in old Cork prison

The filming of a new movie documenting the 1983 prison breakout of IRA prisoners from the North’s Maze Prison got under way at the recently decommissioned Cork prison yesterday.

An Irish-Swedish co-production, MAZE stars Love/Hate’s Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Rebellion’s Barry Ward.

The film will be shot in the old Cork prison and around the city over the next four weeks.
