A LITTLE piece of Hollywood came to Rush this week as award-winning actor Brendan Gleeson began filming on his new movie Calgary.
The Harry Potter star is out in the north Dublin seaside town as he begins work on the much-anticipated follow on to The Guard.
Locals were gobsmacked to see the famous actor strolling around the tight-knit town as he immersed himself in filming at Harbour Park, with the project expected to last for around six weeks.
