Dog
Soldiers Relocate To Luxembourg
The
Northmen feature Dog Soldiers, backed by Northern
Production Fund, has relocated to Luxembourg, Shepperton
Studios and Scotland.
The
horror movie is exec-produced by Noel Gay Films (Hellraiser)
and concerns a group of soldiers on a training exercise
who are attacked by werewolves.
The
£3m feature was originally to be shot in Canada,

of an investment fund and tax breaks.
