Film crews have been spotted in Newport City Centre this morning.

While residents of Newport may see a film crew swarming landmarks in Newport and immediately think of Doctor Who, this production is entirely different.

Welsh production company Hello Deer are currently filming in John Frost Square Newport Central Library, producing a new feature film titled ‘About a Bell’.

‘About a Bell’ is an independent film about Sami, a Syrian refugee, and Bryony, a young librarian, who embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished church.

Listings on IMDB detail that Sami is played by comedian Omid Djalili, and Bryony will be played by Eleanor Worthington-Cox. This main duo will be joined by some giants of British acting including Doctor Who star and Emmy Award Winner Christopher Eccleston, Jonathan Rhodes and Scot Williams.

Though the public may not be allowed into the library today, it would be safe to assume that it has been entirely taken over by cameras and crew.
