NA 2007 filming news

Filed under: Northanger Abbey 2007 — Mags @ 1:21 am

Alert Janeite HeatherL sent some links to filming news from the sets of NA 2007. Unison.ie reports that some scenes were filmed last week at Ardbraccan House in County Meath. Use BugMeNot to read the article if you like, or here is an excerpt:

The grounds of Ardbraccan House outside Navan were the location of part of ‘Northanger Abbey’, an adaptation of the Jane Austen gothic romance novel, on Friday last.

*headdesk*

The article also calls Henry Tilney the heir of the Abbey. We hope it is simply a mistake from the press information that has been innocently repeated. There also is a photo of some extras in costume.

Speaking of extras, HeatherL found the extras casting company for Northanger Abbey “by Jane Austin.” *headdesk* Might be too late to get in on the action, though.

    Well, it’s a pretty old place anyway. I wonder if they’ll actually be using it and/or the grounds as Northanger or Fullerton. As Northanger it would be considerably less dreary as Catherine would of an Abbey, that would be kind of funny! :) It might also make a nice house for the Allens or even a lovely Woodston! :)
