A multi-million dollar sequel to the blockbuster movie Jaws is to be filmed and produced in Kilkee.
It’s understood award-winning movie Director and Producer Kiefer Pellicola and a team of production assistants have made a number of trips to the West Clare town over the last number of months to assess its facilities.
Basking sharks coming to Clare’s coast are believed to have alerted producers to the area, with the film set to provide a significant economic boost to the local economy.
Kiefer Pellicola and Kilkee Councillor Cillian Murphy have been speaking on Clare FM’s Morning Focus about the movie.

Happy April Fools to all our listeners. Our thanks to Councillor Cillian Murphy and Actor/Author Dan Mooney for being a good sport and for highlighting the importance of protecting basking sharks as they visit Clare shores.
