Sir Ridley Scott's Robin Hood epic gets filming extension
4:43pm Friday 26th June 2009 in
Film crews will spend more time in Pembrokeshire to complete scenes for Sir Ridley Scott's Robin Hood epic.
The road closure at Freshwater West where Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and a host of local extras are currently filming battle and village scenes, has been extended by three days.
The original road closure was due to end on Tuesday, (30th June) but the Welsh Assembly Government has agreed to it being extended until Friday, 3rd July, to allow location filming of the Holywood blockbuster to be completed.

As I said in another post, it's now not just Freshwater West, but also St Govans, and not content with 2 weeks, they want even more time, and the authorities seeing more money, are delighted to keep people away from these places for even longer. For me, they should be thinking more of the locals that pay all the bills, not kowtowing to film companies that seem to able to get whatever they want.
The Queen rented out Windsor woods for Harry Potter filming. How much are PCC charging for Freshwater West? Or is this another freebie given on the basis it creates a few temporary jobs.
