Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana has been spotted on our fair isle. The stunning 38-year-old starred in films such as Avatar and Star Trek.
The star was spotted on the set of her latest flick, I Kill Giants, which is being filmed in Dublin but being made look like an American middle school.
Zoe plays psychologist Mrs. Molle in the comic book movie adaptation, and helps a young girl named Barbara who is dealing with personal demons- both real and imaginary- as she tries to process the news that her mother is battling cancer.
Earlier this year the actress told Refinery 29 that she was excited to be filming in Ireland, and to be telling such a brilliant story.
“The director’s really great and this is his passion project. He’s Scandinavian. We shoot in Ireland in September and I’ve never been.
“It’s about this little girl that’s coping with trying to process what’s happening in her world. It’s basically like My Life as a Dog, but it’s this little girl.
“Her mom is dying of cancer and she doesn’t know how to process, so she creates these giants. I play a counselor that is aware and understands there’s a problem. I’m trying to find a way to reach her, because she’s in her warrior mode. It is a great story,” she said.
We hope she enjoys her time here!
