Blood: Filming at Red Rocks

panalux

They’re still filming the forthcoming crime drama Blood down at Red Rocks and I was told by one of the crew that tomorrow (Friday 16th) is supposed to be the last day. So if you want to try and spot Paul Bettany, Mark Strong or Brian Cox then you might want to get down to Red Rocks in the morning (though I didn’t see anyone today).

I’d spotted the rigging pictured below from the bottom of Kings Gap but couldn’t make out what it was …so I popped down for a nose! The “stage” was located in the grounds of Red Rocks Nursing Home. And having spotted some other on-location activity I suspect I might have spoiled the plot line for myself a little! It’s been still and overcast pretty much all week – ideal conditions perhaps for a murky thriller?

      They started filming again on Thursday evening at 6.30 p.m. and were still going strong at 2.15 a.m.
      The same again last night. When I was talking to the men on site Thursday they informed me they were digging a grave. They asked me if the tide would be high enough to clear tracks the JCB had made, as all marks had to be removed, sorry to tell them they would have to do it manually.

    I remember two bl**dy big Great Danes that used to guard that property when I delivered the newspaper, I used to be in and out in a flash! Perhaps it is the Hounds of the Baskervilles that they are filming!

        Paul Bettany was admiring one of our terriers the other day on Stanley road, my husband told me. He didn’t even know who Paul Bettany was! I was so cross I didn’t go on that walk, – I love Paul Bettany! It is cool that people are filming here, perhaps we will get more tourism as a result. Better get working on cleaning up the dog poo eh!

    I now live in Australia but can remember being strafed by an AMERICAN fighter while walking with my mum on the beach at Red Rocks. I think that it was just after the close of WWII. The shell cases dropped around us on the sand, we picked one up. Don’t know in they were live or blank rounds. The plane was about 50 feet off the deck. Mum went to the police and reported the event.and gave them the shell case.

    I went back to the Wirral to visit mum 50 years later and we talked about the day. She said the pilot got chucked out of the service……….
