A NEW Netflix drama will be filmed on the Silver Jubilee Bridge on Sunday.
Stay Close, stars Eddie Izzard, James Nesbitt and Sarah Parish among other top talent.
The bridge, which may be closed for up to 10 minutes at a time, has been selected as producers required an Iconic bridge location. The filming company has agreed to make a donation to the Mayor's Charity.
The bridge, which reopened last month, will be closed for two short duration closures on Sunday to enable the filming of the new drama by Harlan Cobin (also responsible for Safe, The Stranger).
Here is a timetable of the day:
- 7.30am - 12.30pm Filming on a live road on Low Loader and tracking vehicle
- 1pm to 4pm Drone filming 10 minutes in every one hour (actor availability reasons)
- 4pm to 5.30pm Filming on a live road with tracking vehicle
Author Harlan Coben said: “I am so happy and excited to Stay Close (pun intended) with Danny Brocklehurst, Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee — the same team that made The Stranger, Safe and The Five.
"And talk about a dream-come-true cast – Cush Jumbo, an incendiary and awesome talent, Jimmy Nesbitt, a legendary actor I always wanted to collaborate with, and wow, Richard Armitage back again."
