Stars to shoot new thriller in Dublin

Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender are coming to Dublin to film 'Knockout', the new thriller from Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh.

The Press Association reports that the film will begin shooting on Dublin's streets and rooftops within weeks, with the script written specifically for the capital.

'Knockout' tells the story of a private security agent (mixed-martial arts star Gina Carano) who is betrayed by one of her colleagues.
