Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Star Wars: Andor - location

#1

Post by dan_b »

I don't know if anyone has watched the new Star Wars spin-off series "Andor" (it's really very good), but it's really noteworthy for some of the location filming that featured in the last 3 episodes.

They had a crew of 500 shooting in, on, under, and around, the pumped-hydro dam facilities at Cruchan Dam, Scotland. The cinematography is really good and they really make the most of such an impressive structure in such an imposing environment.

Well worth a watch.

That is one industry the has a massive carbon footprint and generates so much waste.
