Amy Huberman has signed up to the new spooky family film 'Ghosthunters' which is currently being filmed in Austria. The film which is a German and Irish co production has also been partly funded by Bord Scannan na hEireann.
The film is based on the book Ghosthunters and the Incredibly Revolting Ghost by Cornelia Funke. The synopsis for the film reads as, 'What a shock, Tom's discovered a green ghost in his cellar! Slimy Hugo is an ASG, an Averagely Spooky Ghost, whom Tom soon realizes is not only completely harmless but also desperately in need of his help. Hugo cannot go back to his haunted house, because a dangerous AIG, an Ancient Ice Ghost, has moved in and is spreading an arctic cold over the entire town in the middle of summer. Tom and Hugo enlist the services of professional Ghosthunter Hetty Cuminseed who has just lost her job at the CGI, the Central Ghosthunting Institute. Hetty doesn't like children or ghosts very much but Tom and Hugo convince her to teach them the basics of ghosthunting, The three become an unlikely team - only with friendship, courage and self-confidence can they overcome their adversary and save the town from the AIG.' Huberman will play the role of receptionist Emily at the Ghosthunting Institute.
Directed by Tobi Baumann and also starring Anke Engelke, Ghosthunters is set for release in spring 2015. This is not Huberman's first time on the big screen, the actress won a IFTA for her role in Stella Days earlier this year.
