Patrick Gibson on the wild night out he shared with The Portable Door co-star Sam Neill

Irish actor Patrick Gibson has spoken candidly about working on his new Stan fantasy film The Portable Door alongside Sam Neill, Miranda Otto, Sophie Wilde and Christoph Waltz.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Friday, the Shadow and Bone star, 27, said he had “so much fun” making the film, which centers on his character, who interns at a mystical and magical company in London.

Patrick also remembered the first time he met Jurassic Park star Sam when they started filming on the Gold Coast.

He said the esteemed actor, 75, took him and some of the cast and crew to a local RSL club for a fun night out to help break the ice.

“My first time meeting Sam – we got texts in a group chat and he was like ‘okay we’re going to an RSL club’ and we were going to a Queen tribute act,” Patrick explained.

“The first time I met Sam, we were blaring bohemian Rhapsody!

“It was so much fun and the first time I’ve been to Australia. We had such a great crew. And there’s so much talent working on it. And it’s so nice to be back.’

He added that working with all of his co-stars was like a “dream.”

‘They’re a nightmare! It’s not all fairy tales! No, it was all great and so much fun. Working with those guys was real and it was such a dream,” he said.

Patrick has starred in several top UK series including The Tudors, The OA and Shadow and Bone.

Speaking of his successful career, he said, “I haven’t really looked back that much.”

“I think maybe by mistake we tend to focus on the future, but I’ve had so much fun with so many different things and different genres and dramatic things too, but this was really special to do this.”

The Portable Door was directed by Jeffrey Walker and adapted from Tom Holt’s popular 7-book fantasy series.

Patrick portrays trainee Paul Carpenter in the film and said he loves that fantasy films “give you a chance to escape to another world.”

“I like fantasy stuff, especially stuff like this that’s based on the real world and has that magical realism element to it,” he said.

One of the themes of the film is the idea that “nothing is a coincidence” and Patrick said it adds an interesting layer to the film.

“I’m pretty open-minded about that stuff, I’m fascinated by what’s going on underneath everything we see. Adding that element to a fantasy story is really fun.”

The Stan original movie The Portable Door premieres April 7 on Stan.

The film also stars Miranda Otto, who looked stunning at the premiere in Sydney on Thursday
