Dracula Year Zero films on location in Roe Valley in Northern Ireland

Universal’s new horror movie Dracula Year Zero is filming on location in Roe Valley Country Park in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The two days of shooting in the park are scheduled as part of three months of filming throughout the region.

“We have wonderful landscapes in Northern Ireland,” said Environment Minister Mark H Durkan: “We are enriched with attractive country parks. Roe Valley is just one example and films such as this provide a great opportunity to showcase our natural beauty both locally and on a world stage.”

Northern Ireland Screen – funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund – is supporting director Gary Shore’s feature with GBP1.65 million in incentive funding. The film is expected to spend GBP15 million locally.
