The picturesque and iconic Cheddar Gorge finds itself at the center of attention as a major feature film production has led to the temporary closure of the B3135 road for four days. Speculations are rife that director Danny Boyle's much-anticipated zombie movie, "28 Years Later," is being filmed in the stunning location, although neither the production company nor the council have confirmed these rumors. The road closure, affecting vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, will be in place until Friday at 23:59 BST, causing some disruption to local residents and visitors who frequent the area. However, the potential economic benefits and increased interest in the region that this film production could bring seem to be outweighing the inconvenience. Mark Ford from Screen Somerset highlighted the positive impacts of such a major production in the area, stating, "With a massive production company in the area, it will bring money into the local economy and more interest in the area." The allure of Cheddar Gorge as a filming location for a high-profile movie undoubtedly enhances its appeal and could lead to a boost in tourism and local businesses. Despite the tight-lipped nature of the production company and local authorities regarding the specifics of the film being shot, the buzz and excitement surrounding the event are palpable in the region. As cameras roll and actors perform against the stunning backdrop of the gorge, residents and onlookers can only anticipate the cinematic magic that may soon grace the silver screen. For now, the road closure serves as a tangible reminder of the transformative power of film productions, turning ordinary locations into extraordinary settings that captivate audiences worldwide. As Cheddar Gorge plays its part in this cinematic endeavor, all eyes are eagerly watching to see what unfolds within its majestic cliffs and winding roads during this period of closure for a 'major film production.'
