A few of my favorite actors are in Belfast right now for the upcoming David Gordon Green-helmed comedy Your Highness.

Principal photography on Your Highness is due to commence on Monday, 20th July, on location in Northern Ireland and the Paint Hall Belfast.

The fantasy film, which is written by Danny McBride and Ben Best, will be produced by Scott Stuber through his Universal-based company Stuber Productions. Mark Huffam from NI production company Generator Entertainment will executive produce with Stuber’s Jon Mone and Danny McBride.

The shoot will last three months. Tim Orr is the director of photography (David Gordon Green’s go-to lens man), and Mark Tildsley is the production designer (28 Days Later, The Constant Gardener).

The film is about an arrogant, lazy prince (McBride) and his hero brother who must complete a quest to save their father’s kingdom. The cast features an award-winning lineup, including Natalie Portman (The Other Boleyn Girl, Star Wars), Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer), Danny McBride (Pineapple Express, Eastbound and Down), and James Franco (Spider-Man 3, Pineapple Express).

The film is expected to infuse as much as £10 million into the economy, employing hundreds of cast, crew and extras from Northern Ireland.

Now if I could only teleport to a certain shooting location in Ireland, I’d be a very happy Danger Bowie.
