There’ll be more lights, camera, action in York – as another film crew hits the city.
Comedy movie Blueberry Inn is set to shoot scenes in the city centre this weekend.
According to a City of York Council traffic notice, the filming will take place near the junction of Walmgate, Fossgate and Merchantgate on Saturday (31 May).
Between 5am and 6pm, parking, waiting and loading will be suspended at the junction due to the filming.
Blueberry Inn has already been shooting scenes at Castle Howard.
It stars some famous faces. Jack Davenport, known for his roles in This Life and Pirates Of The Caribbean, plays an emotionally stunted butler who is given broken-down pub by the lord he worked for.
Blueberry Inn also stars Sophia Di Martino, known for her roles in TV comedies Flowers, Friday Night Dinner and Lena Dunham’s forthcoming series Too Much.
Michael Maloney, of The Crown, plays Lord Arlington. Others in the cast include Chloe Lea (Dune: Prophecy), Alexander Arnold (Skins), Florence Hall (The Princess Switch), Jonathan Oldfield (Andor) and Ace Bhatti (EastEnders).
The comedy, written and directed by Sonia Guggenheim (The Mad Whale), is described as “a social satire that pokes fun at class, capitalism, and our tragic misunderstanding of pigs”.
As part of the filming at Castle Howard, producers have made a commitment of support to the estate’s Bog Hall habitat restoration project.
It is a Dancing Fox Entertainment and Fever Dream Studios production.
York is becoming increasingly popular as a screen location. Earlier this month we reported that Channel 4 crime drama Patience was returning to film in the city.
