PART of the next Star Wars film is expected to be made in Co Donegal.

It is understood the filming will centre on Malin Head - Ireland's most northerly point - and nearby areas.

Cast and crew are expected to arrive in May and shoot for around a month.

A key scene in the last Star Wars film, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, was filmed on Skellig Michael, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Co Kerry.
