The producer of LAWS OF ATTRACTION David T. Friendly, recently commented on shooting in Ireland, by saying “I think we're going to go back to Ireland this Summer.. because we're doing The Honeymooners. The same economic pressures are on us and we're doing that at Paramount. We're considering going back to Dublin to shoot there for the economic savings. They've got a wonderful group of people that are really passionate about filmmaking.”
