«Still, Star Crossed» returns to the streets of Salamanca
On October 17, 18, and 19, Salamanca will once again host the filming of “Still, Star, Crossed”: Compañía street, La Clerecía, the exterior of the Cathedral, and the interior of the church of Santo Tomás Cantuariense, along with the unfinished basilica of Alba de Tormes will be part of the series created by Shona Rhimes and ABC Studios.
The locations team, together with the Salamanca Film Commission, has been working on this block for over a month, so that the different locations are perfectly prepared by next Monday; the main part of the crew arrives in the city on Sunday.
The sequences that will be filmed will provide a new boost to the city's participation in the bulk of the series, which already played a leading role in the filming of the pilot episode.
Salamanca will become the Verona that inspired Shakespeare for one of the most well-known love stories in cinema and literature, that of Romeo and Juliet. Still Star-Crossed is specifically an adaptation of Melinda Taub's eponymous work, set in the 16th century, which serves as a sequel to Romeo and Juliet and follows the stories, betrayals, conspiracies, and romances of the Capulets and Montagues, after the couple's death. The story would follow Rosaline (Lashana Lynch), Juliet's beautiful and intelligent cousin, when, after the death of her parents, she is taken in by her aunts and uncles, forced to work as a servant, and finally, also forced to marry a member of the Montagues, Benvolio (Wade Briggs).
Terence Coombs (Reign) and Zuleikha Robinson (The Following) are other actors who will participate in this pilot, which will be written by Heather Mitchel (Scandal), directed by Michael Offer (HTGAWM), and produced by ABC Studios and ShondaLand (company of the well-known executive producer Shonda Rhimes) which has produced successful series such as Scandal or Grey's Anatomy, among others).
