Hollywood Comes To Weobley In Herefordshire

[Hereford Voice]

Weobley is one of best preserved Tudor villages in the country. This ancient settlement and civil parish in Herefordshire, is being transformed for 'Hamnet' with Steven Spielberg’s production company 'Amblin Pictures'. 

There is a disused garage with two antique petrol pumps behind the convincing fake timber.

A medieval filmset in this wonderful medieval town. We understand that filming  is schedule to begin next week and includes a dramatic flood scene. The movie would be completed for audiences to enjoy sometime in 2025.

Two of the best Irish actors working today, Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, are set star in Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet.” which is being produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Pictures.

Replacing original director Sam Mendes, who now has to shoot four Beatles films, Zhao will adapt Maggie O’Farrell prize-winning Novel in what sounds like primo Oscar-bait.
