Filming at Syon House today

Yes, alright, I'm curious. Does anyone know what was being filmed at Syon House today? I couldn't find anyone to ask and I'm suffering from severe noseache!

Quite right, here's the Wikipedia entry on the book, found via 10 seconds' work with Google:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice_and_ZombiesAnd here's the IMDB entry on the upcoming film, found with the same 10 second search:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1374989/The only name I recognise there is former Dr Who actor Matt Smith.

Ah, that'll be it! My chronic noseache is finally relieved, thank you.I remember the book coming out a few years back; there's also another Austen rework in a similar vein - Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters...Thanks again!

It's not a working title as it's the title of the novel on which the film is based.

That jazzy tiled floor has always puzzled me. Must be masonic...but don't say a word!

Hope that's a working title."Darcy of the Dead" perhaps?Or "The Undead Bennet Girls"

I'm with you on that Vanessa.Surely the zombie genre has been done to death (npi)

Think I might give that one a miss, sounds dreadful!

Vanessa Smith ● 3947d

Thanks Jim, I meant prejudice ,should've put my specs on!

The film is called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies starring Charles Dance, Matt Smith and Sam Riley. Due for release next year.JL.

Spoke to an actor/extra yesterday evening who told me that they were making a movie for release in the cinema & there was some pretty big stars in it. He described it as a bit like Pride & Predijuce but with zombies! Looking at the orange direction markers on the lamp posts etc which have been marked PPZ which is possibly the working title & would relate to what he told me.

I wish I could help you all..my sister worked @ Syon House for 23 years until she was made redundant..Anyway, its not being nosey, its inquisite and taking a keen interest!Will do some detective work and see if I can find out

It's a possibility, but there were an awful lot of vans, lorries, lighting people and everyone else there. I'm guessing something new, but I don't know what.The fellow who was on the gate when they were filming the Johnny Depp thing also commented on my inquisitive nature. I like to put a positive spin on things...

Rashmi Walsh ● 3948d

I believe Johnny Depp was being filmed there a couple of months ago for his new movie. Could be they are doing some re-takes? Just a wild guess

Can't help but frustrating, isn't it? Same for me in Richmond Park a week or so ago. Anybody know?
