  • It's also definitely meant to be New York, as can be seen in the set dressing.

  • Apparently, the show finished filming on the 13th of June, so I wouldn't rule out a potential release this year. Also, I found some more photos of the Croatian shoot.

  • @mtm This website has some good comparisons between the 2008 release of KOTCS and the new version. Much improved in my view, as it tones down at least some of sepia colour grading. I don't remember where I read it, but I distinctly recall someone…
  • I wonder how big Boyd Holbrook's role will be if he has to pull double duty with filming on the Netflix adaptation of the Sandman (also shooting in the UK)?
  • I feel fairly confident that the UK will be able to effectively double for other countries if they have to cut back on too much international filming because of COVID. With modern VFX it's become incredibly easy to double locations as all you rea…

  • Given the amount of VFX that sequence will need, not to mention all the COVID delays, I wouldn't be too shocked if the film got pushed back to 2022. Or at the very least, Christmas.
  • The fact that they're shooting the majority of this rumoured Scottish castle sequence in England really rams home how inadequate Scotland's film commission is compared to the rest of the UK's. They do seem to have been getting much better the pas…
  • @Mr_Beach Excellent work all around. Great job. Things are certainly going to get a little confusing in the summer when DC Comics' The Flash movie, will also be shooting in Glasgow at the same time (doubling for an American city, no less).

  • Looks like the show is definitely embracing the more global scope of the original book, at least, if this report is to be believed. "Croatia has become one of the world's most popular international filming locations and 2021 is shaping up to be o…
  • I'm a big fan of Hollywood movies filming in the UK for many reasons. Perhaps chief among them is that it makes it very easy to know when they're close to production, as suddenly a lot of American actors will start popping up in places like Oxfor…

  • Saw this at a test screening two years ago. Rips off the 1999 Mummy movie in a number of places but it was pretty ok. They were still in the middle of re-editing it, so there were a number of shots where we had to imagine the Rock's face CGI'd on…
  • Of course, they might also be using Scotland to double for another country. Glasgow, in particular, has been used to play New York for a number of major productions. Given the limitations on international travel caused by COVID-19, it would m…
