Behind the scenes on CAMELOT (2011)

Here is a glimpse of behind the cameras on CAMELOT, a major 10-part US drama series which shot in Ireland over 22 weeks in 2010 and was worth an estimated $32 million to the Irish industry.

Written by Michael Hirst (The Tudors) and Chris Chibnall (Life on Mars, Torchwood) the series was a retelling of the Arthurian legend based on Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (Arthur's Death). Filming of the historical drama took place in Ardmore Studios and in various locations throughout County Wicklow, with a cast line-up boasting Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Jamie Campbell Bower, Tamsin Egerton, Claire Forlani and Peter Mooney.

CAMELOT was an international co-production between Octagon Films in Ireland together with Ecosse Films in the U.K and Take Five Productions in Canada. It broadcast on the U.S premium channel Starz Entertainment earlier this year.
