IT'S been lights, camera, action in Bewdley as TV stars have been at the Severn Valley Railway shooting an upcoming feature film.

Film crews have been in Worcestershire this month shooting a new flick inspired by one of Shakespeare's most famous plays - Romeo and Juliet.

The film, called All That Glitters, features Tim Downie, known for his performances in TV shows Outlander and Toast of London, and Paul Ready who plays Kevin Brady in BBC's Motherland.

It stars Elliot Grihault in the leading role, known for playing Lucerys Velaryon in HBO's House of the Dragon, and new star Flo Thompstone.

The film also features James Craven, who also appeared in House of the Dragon, Mark Lavery, Rudi Goodman and Anya Preston.

The crew has been filming in Bewdley, previously causing a stir after filming in the town centre.

On Monday (August 12), they were shooting scenes at the Severn Valley Railway station in Bewdley, which was transformed into the fictional station of Kingley.

The main bulk of the filming has taken place in Hagley, including at Haybridge High School, where producer Joe Andrews studied.

Mr Andrews said: "The project is a take on Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet. The intention for the film is to bring Shakespeare to a younger audience.

"When Peter (Lavery) wrote it, the writer/director, he said he wanted this sleepy village and for it to be set up in that world. Growing up in Clent I was like perfect, I know of a sleepy village, I know this whole area.

"It just made sense to bring it here really. It's important as somebody who grew up around here to bring it back. A lot of filming happens in London and it's important to try and get it out of London and give opportunities around here".

He said the crew has a "good mix" of London and West Midlands-based members.

The film is expected to be released next spring.
