BREAKING: Hollywood star Liam Neeson filming on Limerick city street
The streets have been transformed into a 1990s-America streetscape
HOLLYWOOD has officially arrived in Limerick, as Liam Neeson was spotted filming in Limerick city this Tuesday morning.
Crowds gathered to watch the filming and try sneak a photo of the Northern Irish movie star, sporting a rust-coloured jacket and a cap.
Catherine Street and Glentworth Street have both undergone major transformations to create a 1990s-America streetscape for the movie.
In a Facebook post late on Monday night, Gleeson's Spar Catherine Street shared a number of photos of the transformed building, with the caption: "Our shop is a film set on Tuesday morning. Expecting Liam Neeson and other stars of the movie 4 kids walk into a bank".
Limerick City and County Council had previously confirmed a number of temporary road closures on Tuesday, December 3, and informed locals that parking will be restricted from midnight.
A sign posted on Catherine Street advised road users that the restrictions will remain in place until 4pm this Tuesday afternoon as filming of "exterior scenes" is expected to take place throughout the day.
Liam Neeson is allegedly playing an ex-bank robber named Danny, whose teenage granddaughter, Paige, is the light of his life. When she overhears her grandfather say that his former gang is pulling him back in to pay a debt, she enlists her three best friends to rob the bank, sparing him.
