The action-thriller HAYWIRE brings mixed martial arts star Gina Carano to the big screen for the very first time and pairs her with celebrity heavyweights Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor and Academy Award winning Director Steven Soderberg. Her role as double-crossed government operative Mallory Kane sends her into battle against sinister forces from within her own agency, forcing her to use her wits and fists to defeat her enemies and find her way home.
Shelbourne Hotel
Only a small portion of the film takes place in Dublin, and the majority of those scenes were shot in the Shelbourne Hotel. At this point the protagonist, Mallory, is posing undercover as the wife of an MI6 agent named Paul. A chase sequence also takes place on the streets of Dublin but there are no specific locations.
The Shelbourne Hotel is a famous hotel situated in a landmark building on the north side of St Stephen's Green, in Dublin, Ireland. Currently operated by Marriott International, the hotel has 265 rooms in total and reopened in March 2007 after undergoing an eighteen-month refurbishment. John McCurdy designed the hotel and the studio of M. M. Barbezet of Paris cast the four external statues, two Nubian Princesses and their shackled slave girls. It was founded in 1824 by Martin Burke after he acquired 3 adjoining townhouses overlooking St. Stephen’s Green. He named the hotel “The Shelbourne” after William Petty, the 2nd Earl of Shelburne.
