Portman Road in New Movie - Ipswich Town News
Portman Road and other Ipswich locations form the backdrop for a new action film, One Ranger.
The Jesse V Johnson-written and directed movie sees a Texas Ranger team up with British special agents as they seek to thwart a terrorist from launching an attack in London.
In addition to Portman Road, Suffolk County Council’s Endeavour House and sites on the Waterfront also feature, the cast and crew having been in town for filming in February and March last year.
Thomas Jane plays the eponymous role, while John Malkovich also features along with Dominique Tipper and Dean Jagger. One Ranger is released on May 5th.
The 1979 movie Yesterday's Hero, starring Ian McShane, and the 2006's Rabbit Fever both featured scenes filmed inside Portman Road.
