Coming over to film the movie was the first time Paul had ever been to Northern Ireland - but it certainly will not be the last.

The acclaimed Hollywood director behind the new Netflix movie 'The School for Good and Evil', which was filmed in Northern Ireland, said he was "thrilled to be back" on a visit to Belfast.

Paul, who is known for his comedy directing with many episodes of the US Office under his belt, stepped into a different direction with the world of fantasy for 'The School for Good and Evil' which he called a "fun but difficult process". "We had the greatest background actors - they were all so wonderful. It is very gruelling to be a background artist in a movie with insane costumes we put them in and massive hair.

"Some people in my crew were trying to talk me out of doing it because they thought it was going to be really hard to get up there but it looked like nothing I’d ever seen. I think it looks so nice that people will watch the movie and think it’s a special effect."
