Game of Thrones sparks Northern Ireland film boom

Belfast becoming prime locale for filmmakers

George, however, refuses to get too excited about long-lasting film future for Belfast. He says “I have to voice a note of caution as the big studios and the big productions can vanish just as fast as they appeared, so while it's wonderful to have HBO and NBC/Universal there, if local productions, local film makers and local talent are not given long-term financial and structural support we'll be left with empty studio space and a lot of people having to go abroad to find work."
