Salamanca will be transformed into the romantic city of Verona, to recreate the love story of Romeo and Juliet. The city will be the setting for the pilot episode of the series “Still Star Crossed”, produced by ABC Studios (from the ABC television network, USA) and Shondaland (which has produced successful series such as Scandal or Grey's Anatomy, among others). The Spanish part is represented by Calle Cruzada, which also filmed 1492 in Salamanca, under the direction of Ridley Scott. It is also one of the main production companies that attracts the largest number of international projects. Its successes include “The Cold Light of Day” or “Night and Day”.
Michel Offer will be the series director; an Australian film and television director, his works include GP, Water Rats, The Lost World of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Bill, Holby City, Siniestros, Nacional, Moses Jones, Persons Unknown, Terriers, The Chicago Code or The Last Resort.
The project is in the pre-production phase, a work being carried out by the Salamanca Film Commission, and in which the City Council is providing a group of technicians from the different areas involved to verify and respond to the various needs of the filming.
Work is currently underway on the location scouting phase, and different spaces are being considered among the city's various heritage sites.
After the pilot, the filming of nine other episodes is planned; additionally, depending on audience success, a second season would be filmed.
The pilot will represent a significant economic injection for the city, and an important international projection for Salamanca, as has happened with the filming locations of the most successful current series such as Game of Thrones. Filming in Andalusia or Croatia has given a significant boost to the tourism promotion of these destinations.
