Ananova:

Mischa Barton will be in Belfast for the world premiere of her new film Closing the Ring.

The movie is directed by Lord Attenborough and was partly filmed there.

Closing the Ring tells the story behind a ring found on a hill after an American bomber plane crashes there.

Brenda Fricker, Pete Postlethwaite, Neve Campbell and Christopher Plummer are also among the cast.

They will be joined at Thursday's premiere by Lord Attenborough and Shirley MacLaine.

Closing the Ring producer Jo Gilbert, who's based in Belfast, spoke of her pride over Northern Ireland's role in the making of the movie.

She said: "With the majority of Closing The Ring shot on location in Belfast including the Cave Hill, the east and north of the city as well filming on the stages of the Titanic Studios and at Bangor's Clandeboye Estate it proves that Northern Ireland has strong credentials as a movie-making hotspot."
