Film: Disney Films Alice In Wonderland 2 in Gloucester

Alice in Wonderland 2 filming in Gloucester

A Disney film crew shot scenes for the new 'Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass' movie in Gloucester last night. Unfortunately, Tim Burton will not direct the sequel but Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway reprise their roles in the extravagant adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel. Mia Wasikowska, who plays the lead role as Alice, was spotted on set filming probably the opening scene of the film.

A few weeks ago, a film crew shot scenes for the new 'Star Wars' film at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean, which is not too far away from where I live. This region is very popular for the film industry and even Gloucester is known to many as the film location to the Harry Potter movies. Now the Quays in Gloucester are becoming a hot spot for movies, too. This time the iconic buildings of the harbour side in the Quays, Biddle and Llanthon Warehouse, will make their cinema debut in the new Disney 'Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass' franchise.

Earlier this week I've noticed ships sailing into Gloucester Quays but I assumed it would have been part of a tourist attraction, as the Quays are so busy with visitors at the moment. Apparently all the preparation went into creating a film set. Last night (18 August 2014 between 7-10pm) I went through the Quays and it was filled with people, extras and a lot of smoke. A smoke machine created an eerie and mysterious atmosphere which I think will look stunning in the film. A 19th century horse carriage went past me and I saw the massive trailers and film cranes all around the harbour side. I thought it might be a BBC period drama production, but it turned out to be Disney/Hollywood!

Rumour has it that Johnny Depp was spotted in Cheltenham, but I'm not so sure about this. Given the fact that the famous actor plays the Mad Hatter in the film (which is a character from the fantasy world of the Wonderland), and the crew were most likely shooting the opening scene (which plays in Alice's reality).

Sadly, I've missed all the main action which was happening last night (I went, ironically, to the cinema to watch Skylight), but I've made a few pictures of the film set, which will be there for another two days. The film will be released in 2016. Hope you'll enjoy!

Quite exciting don't you think? What do you think about the Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass film set? Are you looking forward to the film in 2016? Have you ever been in a film as a spare? 

Till next time,

Fashion: Undressed - A Brief History Of Underwear. My Visit.

Image
The V&A in London is always worth a visit, and after seeing the amazing Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and Louis Vuitton’s Series 3 on the Strand last year, I was ready for another fashion related exhibition. Last weekend, a new seasonal exhibition opened at the V&A museum called “Undressed – A brief History of Underwear”. Though I’m not too bothered about lingerie, I was intrigued how the museum and its curators would display and showcase the historic development of undergarments. Tickets were booked in an instant, so I invited my friend Mille from Pass For Fass to come along and join me for a Saturday afternoon in South Kensington. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures. Since the V&A prohibits photography and wouldn’t reply to my enquiry to get press pictures for this blog post, my iPhone 6 had to do the job. The Exhibition: What You'll See The exhibition is located in a separate part, right in the heart of the V&A and runs until 201

Film: My Top Three Christmas Movies

Image
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the wonderful films that you can watch all over again to get into the festive mood. Ever since I moved out of my parents home, it is my very own tradition to watch a film on the evening of the 24th December (instead of unwrapping presents) and then celebrate Christmas in the morning of the 25th. Some of the films are mostly anime and cartoon-based as they remind me of my childhood and I feel that these movies bring back that special festive magic which I experienced as a child. I don't really like the modern, hyperactive American movies ala Home Alone ,  Miracle on 34th Street , Santa Claus or Jingle All Away . My ultimate all-time-classic Christmas movies are: 1. Anastasia (1997) In a dramatic night, the entire Russian tsar family Romanov is killed by the evil magician Rasputin. Only grandma Romanov and the youngest daughter Anastasia can survive the attack and flee, but are separated and Anastasia suffers from amnesia. Many years later

Lifestyle: What's In My Handbag?

Image
List and What's In My Handbag posts are my favourite blog reads, because I'm quite nosy and I love to know what other bloggers carry around and use daily. My recent list post on  The 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome was picked up so well that I've decided to do a handbag post next. I've been dying to do this post for a while now and I finally got around to do it. Hope you'll have fun exploring my Kate Spade shopper and its content. |Practical| 1. TomTom Sat Nav, Car Keys & License, Visconti Leather Wallet When I'm out I barely use public transport (except for London or when I go into Birmingham) and I drive a lot in Britain and Germany. A few years ago I would refuse to use sat navs, simply because I've learnt in driving school, how a good driver prepares and studies a map BEFORE he goes on a trip, which makes it easier to focus on the road and traffic. However, when I did my first massive tour around the UK in 2011, having a sat nav proved to be a massi
