Victoria Square in the town centre has been sealed off amid rumours the town hall will double as the Kremlin
In the latest in an ever-growing line of location managers choosing the town and its architecture for film and TV shoots Victoria Square, outside Bolton Town Hall in the town centre, has been fenced off with film crews, trucks and equipment pictured within the cordon.
Signs currently in place reveal roads will be closed to allow for filming from Monday until Thursday, March 2, with a section of Le Mans Crescent also sealed off. Set in the aftermath of the Russian revolution, McGregor's character Count Alexander Rostov is spared immediate execution but is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol and threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside.
McGregor said last year of the drama: "It's an amazing, wonderful story and I am very excited to get to play such a fabulous role." Council bosses said the continuing attraction of Bolton as a film and TV location brings money into the town and supports local business.
