'Skins’ actor Jack O’Connell and ‘Homeland’ actor Rupert Friend have begun shooting ‘Starred Up’ in Northern Ireland.
The feature film, which began principal photography in Belfast yesterday, sees O’Connell, best known for his role as James in Channel 4 series ‘Skins’, play troubled teenager Eric, who is transferred to an adult prison.
When a gang member he meets in prison turns out to be his father, Eric’s violent ways look set to continue, until the prison psychologist takes an interest in him and he slowly begins a transformation.
Friend is expected to be playing the father, while ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ actor Ben Mendelsohn is thought to play the role of the psychologist.
Shooting is currently taking place in Crumlin Road Jail in Belfast.
