Lindsay Lohan’s latest movie, Irish Wish, takes her character and the viewer to some of Ireland’s most beautiful locations.
A new romcom from Netflix, described as a “story of luck and love and confidence”, mixes Irish whimsy, Hollywood star power and the gorgeous backdrop of scenic Ireland.
Irish Wish tells the story of a bridesmaid who, a few days before her friend’s wedding, wishes she were the bride, only to wake up next day as the bride-to-be. But she then realises who her real soulmate is.
The movie was shot in several locations across Ireland including Dublin, where the vibrant Temple Bar area stood in for New York.
The beautiful landscape of County Wicklow in Ireland’s Ancient East also featured and the imposing Killruddery House makes an appearance. The magnificent manor has a 400-year history and has been used as a filming location for many movies and TV series including Excalibur, The Tudors, Angela’s Ashes, Camelot, Becoming Jane, Ella Enchanted and The Count of Monte Cristo.
Another super scenic spot that makes it into the movie is Lough Tay, also known as the Guinness Lake. The lake is located on land owned by the Guinness family in the Wicklow Mountains and is edged on one side with white sand to resemble a pint of the ‘black stuff’. It can be clearly seen on a drive through the Sally Gap, widely regarded as one of the most scenic drives on the island of Ireland.
Irish Wish also includes scenes shot on the other side of the island on the Wild Atlantic Way, including at the stunning Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s top visitor attractions.
Lohan stars alongside Ed Speleers, Alexander Vlahos, Ayesha Curry, Elizabeth Tan, Jacinta Mulcahy, and Jane Seymour in the movie.
Irish Wish will be released on Netflix on 15 March, just in time for St Patrick’s Day.
