Amazon no longer wants to produce the Bladerunner TV series in Belfast. There are lots of disappointed TV production crews, no doubt.

The Brexit effect...? I know Game of Thrones was based in NI, but liked the advantage of being able to decamp to Malta or Croatia, or wherever, with minimal bureaucracy, for hot/steamy/dusty location shoots in the pre-Brexit era...
I don't want this derailed into politics and Brexit, but the Windsor Framework basically means we're sorta/kinda still in the EU and most of us have Irish passports.
I suspect it may have more to do with the lack of a stable local government, caused by the DUP refusing to form a government because the fenians are getting to uppity of the aforementioned framework.
