ANOTHER film crew has moved onto Basing View thought to be shooting a new “big budget” series for Apple TV.
Dozens of trailers and lorries are parked up at Lower Basing View Car Park, where just four months ago new Amazon Prime series Citadel, starring Richard Madden was also filmed.
The Gazette understands that the film crew are there to shoot a “big budget” TV series for Apple called Brussels starring French actors Eva Green and Vincent Cassel.
Filming is due to start on Momday where stars are likely to be transported into the town in executive cars with privacy glass.
The crew will be shooting scenes at Mountbatten House, a Grade II listed building viewed as an “innovative example” of late-1970s office architecture.
The same building was used for filming of Citadel, understood to have been transformed into a hospital set, with the crew spending more than a week at the site.
Mountbatten House is one of Basingstoke’s most iconic buildings. Also known as the ‘Hanging Gardens of Basingstoke’ the five-storey building was sold for £2 million in 2019 to Squarestone Growth.
Basingstoke has recently become a popular location for filming, with the BBC also choosing the town to film an adaption of Kate Atkinson’s bestselling novel Life After Life.
The crew took over All Saints’ Church, in Southern Road, on June 28 with actors including Thomasin McKenzie, Sian Clifford and James McArdle spotted shooting a wedding scene outside on the street.
