‘Carnival Row’ Wraps Shooting in Prague

According to The Prague Reporter, Carnival Row has wrapped filming. In their article they also list a few interesting facts about the production:

An estimated 900 people worked on Carnival Row during its production in Prague, the majority of them local. Only about 60 cast and crew members were brought into the country for filming.

One of the most expensive projects to ever shoot in the Czech Republic […], Carnival Row spent an estimated 1.5 billion CZK (roughly $75 million) while in Prague.

The production was granted a tax rebate of more than 250 million CZK.

While filming primarily took place at Barrandov Studios in Prague, production also took place at locations in Liberec, the chateaux in Frýdlant and Krnsko, and Prachovské skály, the majestic natural rock formation […].

Carnival Row was originally sold as a spec script by Travis Beacham all the way back in 2005, and passed through the hands of directors like Guillermo del Toro […] and Neil Jordan at various stages of its development.

Directors Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin), Jon Amiel (Copycat), Andy Goddard (Set Fire to the Stars) and Anna Foerster (who shot Underworld: Blood Wars in Prague in 2015) each worked on the series in the Czech Republic.

Black Mirror “Crocodile” Easter Egg is Spot on

BMC343crop

Charlie Brooker‘s anthology series Black Mirror is well known for predicting human behaviour in an uncanny and scarily precise way.

The users of Internet platform Reddit are known for dissecting everything they watch.

The season 4 episode “Crocodile” was the moment these two came together in a moment of sheer meta-gloriousness, when Andrew‘s character Rob shows a newspaper clipping to ex-girlfriend Mia (Andrea Riseborough).

The newspaper article actually included the following sentence:

Of course the real question is why anyone would pause what they’re watching just to read a sentence in a printed out newspaper article’, says a voice in your head – before advising you to go and share this finding on Reddit.

Of course the Easter Egg was discovered by Reddit user AFellowOfLimitedJest.

Black Mirror, you did it again. Mind blown.

Black Mirror 4×03 Crocodile

Black Mirror 4×03 Crocodile

The episodes opens with a young couple, Mia (Andrea Riseborough) and Rob (Andrew Gower) at a dance party in Iceland. Throughout the night they are seen drinking and consuming drugs. While driving home, a still drunken and intoxicated Rob hits and kills a cyclist on the road. Mia wants to call the police but Rob begs her to help him to cover up the crime by throwing the body and bicycle into the nearby fjord.

Fifteen years later, Mia is a successful architect and happily married with a 9 year old son. Rob hasn’t fared as well, he’s a recovering drug addict, newly sober, “dried up dog shite”, as he describes himself. He seeks out Mia in a hotel in the city and tells her, he is ready to make amends and that he wants to write an anonymous letter to the widow of the man he killed and whose body was never discovered. Mia is afraid the letter will be traced back to them and could potentially destroy her family and career, and she is willing to do everything to protect her new life.

We also meet Shadzia (Kiran Sonia Sawar), a young insurance investigator, who questions witnesses of an accident, that happened in front of Mia’s hotel, where a self-driving pizza delivery truck hit and injured a pedestrian. She uses a device called “Recaller” to extract the memories of claimants and witnesses, although “memories can be subjective”, as she explains. Inevitably, Shadzia’s work leads her to Mia, who was seen standing at her hotel room window by another witness.

‘Carnival Row’: Andrew Gower & Jamie Harris Set To Recur In Amazon’s Fantasy Drama Series

thudcrop

According to Deadline.com, Andrew was cast in a recurring role in a new show for Amazon Prime.

Carnival Row is described as a fantasy-noir set in a neo-Victorian city. Mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homeland have gathered in the city, and tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population. The series follows the investigation into a string of unsolved murders that are eating away at whatever uneasy peace still exists. It’s slated for premiere in 2019.

Gower will play Ezra Spurnrose, the scion of one of the most prominent families in the Burgue. When a business deal sours he finds himself under financial straights and reluctantly agrees, at his sister Imogen’s behest, to enter into a partnership with a wealthy Puck who has moved in across the street. When he begins to suspect that Imogen is falling in love with the Puck, Ezra will stop at nothing to protect his family’s reputation.

This means Carnival Row is the “mysterious” new project that forced Andrew to withdraw from playing Guy Titt in Nutritiously Nicola!.

We wish him all the best for this new role. He sure sounds excited about it!
