Santo Tomás Cantuariense last location for «Still Star Crossed»
The film crew for the pilot episode of Still Star Crossed concludes today in Salamanca after three months of intense work days. Santo Tomás Cantuariense is the last location in the puzzle of spaces chosen by the production company's technicians to set the drama written by Willian Shakespeare. The production company, which plans to film until the end of the morning in Salamanca, will then move to Extremadura, Plasencia and Cáceres being the chosen cities for filming.
Three months of work are behind us, which began with visits by location scouts, producers, and the director to different locations in Salamanca. Salamanca Film Commission acted as host and showed all the possibilities the city has as a film set, and what was initially going to be a single day of work ended up transforming into eight days of filming in which the city's main monuments have been used. La Clerecía, the Patios de Escuelas, the Convent of San Esteban, the Cathedrals, Compañía street, Plaza Concilio de Trento, Casa de las Conchas, Palacio Anaya, and Santo Tomás Cantuariense have enveloped the adventures of Romeo and Juliet.
Once the filming and editing of the pilot episode are finished, Sitll Star Crossed must receive approval from investors and advertisers of the American network ABC, a fact that should not be difficult, as behind the creative part is Shonda Rhines, executive producer of successful series such as Grey's Anatomy or Schandal. If this happens, Salamanca would host the filming of nine more episodes, which would mean a significant publicity boost for the city, aside from the economic and labor benefits that would impact citizens.
Michael Offer has been the director chosen by the producers to lead an exceptional cast consisting of Lucien Laviscount (Romeo), Clara Rugaard (Juliet), Zuleikha Robinson (Lady Capulet), Lashana Lynch (Rosaline), Torrance Coombs (Count Paris), Wade Briggs (Benvolio Montague), Sterling Sulieman (Prince Scalus), Dan Hildebrand (Friar Lawrence), Grant Bowler (Lord Montague), and Anthony Head (Lord Capulet).
The filming has had the support of the Salamanca City Council, which has collaborated with different departments such as Salamanca Film Commission, Local Police, Firefighters, Environment, Lighting, and Maintenance.
