Major Netflix movie starring Emily Blunt and Andrew Scott to begin filming in Kildare

There will be three days of filming in Rathangan this month as part of an upcoming Netflix production starring Emily Blunt and Andrew Scott.

The production crew has informed local residents and businesses there may be some disruption as a result.

Filming on Walk the Blue Fields, an adaptation of a romantic short story by Claire Keegan, is due to take place on the main street between March 18 and 20, from 1pm to 11.30pm each day.

"During this period, there may be temporary changes to parking, traffic flow, and pedestrian access. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption, and access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all times," said the crew.

"You may notice production vehicles, crew members, lighting, and filming equipment in the area. Our team will be on-site to assist with any questions or concerns and to ensure that the process runs as smoothly as possible."

The crew said it would be following up with residents closer to the shoot dates with more information on changes to the parking and more specific times.
