Wicklow, and in particular Avoca and Powerscourt, will be heavily featured in the upcoming black comedy action film Cocaine Bear. The film was shot here, with locations in Wicklow standing in for southern US states.
The film releases this Friday. This is also Ray Liotta's last completed movie, as the star passed away last May.
Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Matthew Rhys also feature.
Elizabeth Banks directed the film, and says that it is something of a metaphor. It's based on the true story of an American black bear that ate a duffel bag full of drugs in 1985. The Hunger Games star says she first read the script for the movie in April 2020:
