THE SEAFRONT is set to play host to a film crew – and there is growing speculation it is for a new movie starring Harry Styles.
Filming for My Policeman is believed to be taking place at various location in Brighton and Hove next month.
Last week we reported that from midnight on Friday, May 7 a parking suspension will be in place on Adelaide Crescent to Holland Road, Hove, to allow filming to take place.
And now it has been announced that on Thursday, May 13 parking will also be suspended in the shared bay opposite Blenheim Court and Spa Court, Hove and in all bays on Medina Terrace.
The arrival of Harry Styles has been highly anticipated since it was announced that he would play the starring role in the film.
My Policeman is based on Brighton author Bethan Roberts’s 2012 novel of the same name.
Harry Styles will portray Tom, the police officer of the title and Emma Corrin, star of The Crown, will play Marion, Styles’s on-screen wife.
The story takes place in the late 1990s when the arrival of Patrick, an elderly invalid, triggers an exploration of events from 40 years previous – Tom and Patrick’s relationship at a time when being gay was illegal.
Award-winning theatre director Michael Grandage will direct from an adapted screenplay by Oscar-winner Ron Nyswaner, who penned 1993 legal drama Philadelphia.
