They said: "Northern Ireland has garnered a reputation among production crews as the perfect cinematic backdrop thanks to iconic shows like 'Game of Thrones', 'Line of Duty' and 'Derry Girls'. "Streaming services have also begun taking advantage of Northern Ireland as an upcoming Netflix heist comedy 'Lift', starring US actor Kevin Hart, was recently filming in the capital city, as well as young adult fantasy film 'The School for Good and Evil', also filmed in Belfast, and set to air on Netflix later this year. "Despite this, it may be surprising to discover that Kenneth Branagh’s latest blockbuster film 'Belfast' was mostly filmed in England, as lockdown prevented filming on location in the Northern Irish capital. "They continued: "The 'Belfast' movie still provided a fabulous representation of the city, which will help continue to attract big productions. "Belfast is also well known for doubling as other English cities such as London in 'Marcella' and Nottingham for 'Line of Duty'.
