Rumor: New Possible Filming Location in Ireland for Star Wars: Episode VIII.
After the filming on Skellig Michael for The Force Awakens and Episode VIII, and the upcoming filming in County Kerry, Rian Johnson and company might be heading to yet another location in Ireland. This time more to the north…
From DerryJournal (via JediNews):
Speculation is mounting that the next instalment of the Star Wars saga is to be filmed in Malin Head.
The Derry Journal understands that film location scouts from Lucasfilm recently visited the area and are expected to return in May for filming.
They are expected to film in Malin Head in May for around a month. A number of B&Bs and vacant houses in Malin Head and the surrounding area have been completely booked out for a number of weeks in late April and throughout May. It is understood some initial works at Malin Head have already got underway in preparation for filming.
So it appears the next 2 months will be busy with several filming locations around the world – Dubrovnik, Iceland and two locations in Ireland. Also there are unconfirmed reports for a filming around Mexico City.

How I’d love to be living in Ireland right now.
I live here. It won’t stop raining! But when it does stop, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Awesome 🙂 A person who loves where they live. A rare thing these days! Good for you!
Strange that you didn’t comment on the glaring geographical error in the article.
what’s that?
So almost the full movie will be shot on real locations. What a great news. I was a bit afraid that after TFA they will return to the prequel style shooting on full green nothingness. A great trilogy is ahead of us.
Kinda getting sick of people bashing on the prequels for that. They used ALOT of practical effects, look it up, and the planets they could do they shot in real places (naboo) but except if you know a giant skycraper future city or a volcanocity, it’s kinda normal that they had to use greenscreen don’t you think?
I do like the use of real locations though don’t get me wrong. Really nice looking places they picked out. But the story the prequels offered made it difficult to do that
They used miniatures (and a few sets) but a lot of scenes in Episodes 2 and 3 were just people walking against green screens with those miniatures put into the background. It’s not the same as a real set with some CG extensions.
They used miniatures and alot of sets and real locations.
They used practical effects.
TFA has more CGI than any other Star Wars movie. TFA has whole several minutes long scenes which are pure CGI without any real element.
Those are space/ship fighting scenes. They’re not putting actors in front of a green screen and pretending that it’s a floor/foreground hallway. It’s always backgrounds. It’s not about how much CGI you have, it’s how you use it. TFA used it well. The prequels used it shittily. That is all.
Actually they did put actors in front of a green screen and pretending that it’s a floor/foreground hallway in TFA.
Almost every scene in TFA has CGI.
CGI was used perfectly in PT, and looked great for that time.
CGI in TFA looks bad. Rathars and Snoke look like crap.
TFA is full of unnecessary CGI. Instead of 90% of CGI in TFA they could use miniatures or some other practical effects like in prequels.
Prequels used miniatures, practical effects even for space scenes.
lol the prequel proponents have turned into sequel haters. And I thought they hated when people bashed their movies, now it’s their turn I suppose.
Pretty weak really. Should have seen it coming. Oh well, I suppose it’s all fun and games until someone losses an eye.
I find it kind of funny that you claim that TFA has CGI hallways/floors throughout, and yet, you don’t spam me with picture evidence like you usually do. How convenient. Dude, just stop. Everyone on this site knows your “arguments” and it’s getting tired.
But the rage behind the posting is hilarious.
It really is.
Here are your real sets:

Good actors can act with nothing around, a desert. Who give a fuck of CGI/real if the star wars feeling is here ? i barely find this in TFA. Sometimes in the movie i was wondering what i was looking honestly. Boyega Hux and Nazi vibes just got me out of “Star Wars at some moments. Still a good movie though. But Prequels feel more Star Wars for me.
Lol good for you, I guess. But it’s hard for me to see how a rehash of the first Star Wars movie can feel less like Star Wars than a trilogy of emotionless, alien films with the SW name slapped on them.
You win Lora. It has more CGI than any other Star Wars movie.
It was also better than all three the prequels combined.
So..What does it matter?
Exactly.
TPM looks great tho even today (excpet a couple of scenes). Its only ep II and III which sucks very much on visuals. Especially if you consider that not even a single clone trooper was real.
Actualy they shoot prequels on alot of real locations too. Plus they used tons of miniatures, sets and other practical effects.

No one cares.
Yep, it’s probably that D-green jerk from the Cantina forums, relentlessly spamming picture series for no reason.
i care. He/she just proving his opinion by facts. And it seems it’s true. Stating no ones care and reporting it just prove you are mad because she’s right
It was for spamming pictures. I don’t report people just because I’m angry.
Mostly from Episode 1. Plus, for every one of those, there’s tons of this:

Not really. Green screen in prequels where replaced with miniatures and practical effects.
TFA has more CGI than any other Star Wars movie.
Prequels had alot of sets and used alot of real locations and miniatures.

For the next one, I’d like to see parts of it shot somewhere in Asia. They have shot plates there but other than Anarctica, I think it’s the only continent where a SW film hasn’t been shot with actors.
As long as it isn’t the planet where all the “Nemoidians” live.
Yeah, If it’s anything like the old EU version then I agree.
They probably have a lot of cumoonications disruptions there.
They already have for episode 3, it’s Kashyyyk.
