Filming on Friday
Donovan asks:
Anyone have clue what they were filming in the Old Naval College this weekend? I walked along the riverside at
about 11.30 on Friday night: the place was floodlit and I could see what appeared to be a large golden baby moving slowly along
the main cavalcade parallel to the river. Either that or I really shouldn't have drunk that mezcal.
The Phantom replies:
I noticed that myself - a huge shoot of some sort - all gone by the Saturday when I passed by later. No idea what it was. We need a mole in the film unit, don't we...

This was for a film called 'Franklyn' which is due out next year.
Thank you. Here's the IMDB link:

Talking of films in Greenwich (kind of) has anyone managed to see Flood yet? It was filmed in Greenwich a couple of years ago and in a stunning piece of opportunist marketing given the terrible summer we have just had it has just been released.....err, direct to DVD :-(
It does look good though. Shame there isn't a video library left in Greenwich to hire it from.
M32 - are you there? It's currently 9.31am on Tues 6th Nov and I'm having problems with the site. Can you see today's post? It's about the Blackheath Standard.
Can't believe I missed the chance to see Eva Green in my own back garden. Funny that to film the 'London of the future' they've chosen a world heritage site. Presumably London goes all third reich with impressive neoclassical buildings. Still, how can a film with a big golden baby be bad? (oh so many ways, ed.)
Got to be better, though, than that other historical travesty that's just come out with Golden in the title. I particularly liked the epilogue about England entering a 'Golden Age of Peace and Prosperity' after the death of Philip II in 1598. ... Marred only by the death of Elizabeth, the Gunpowder Plot, the Ulster Plantation, wars with Spain and France, the dissolution of Parliament, the Scottish Covenanters and a teeny-weeny Civil War. Still, pretty golden.
Hi TGP, I am here :-) As soon as I submitted that post I couldn't see any of today's entries but it seems OK again now. A temporary glitch I guess?
Cheers! Yes - it's a problem with Blogger itself - the Phantom Webmaster has been doing a littel sleuthing for me and apparently it all very very slooooooooow...
Thanks for checking it out for me.
I just saw a preview for The Golden Compass and Greenwich seems to feature quite heavily. I recognised several locations around the Royal Naval College including the lovely Painted Hall. Now I'll probably have to go see it.
