Five-part 1916 drama series ‘Rebellion’ is wrapping this week after shooting over the summer in Dublin.
‘Rebellion’ is a five-part serial drama which charts the violent birth of modern Ireland. The serial begins in 1914. Europe is at war and Britain is preoccupied with the German threat. But by 1916 in Dublin, the Easter Rising explodes into life and announces the beginning of a campaign for independence that will take another seven years to resolve. Filming locations include Dublin Castle and the GPO.
The series stars Irish actors Charlie Murphy, Brian Gleeson, Sarah Greene, Barry Ward and Ruth Bradley. Maureen Hughes was the Casting Director for the drama.
‘Rebellion’ is produced by Zodiak Media Ireland and Touchpaper Television in association with Element Pictures, and is written by Colin Teevan, directed by Aku Louhimies, and produced by Catherine Magee. The cinematographer was Tim Fleming and Production Designer was Derek Wallace. The drama will be posted at Windmill Lane Pictures Post Production. Aku Louhimies’ regular collaborator Benjamin Mercer will serve as editor.
Zodiak Rights will be distributing the programme internationally.
