January 2020 – Filming at Camden Lock – evening of 19 January to early morning of 25 January 2020 I don’t approve of paparazzi photos, if they relate to someone’s personal life ... but these are work photos, so I can just about overcome my prejudice ... because I love seeing Richard! He even appears to be enjoying the ‘flying’ sequences ... personally I don’t ‘do’ heights anymore!
This is a link to Richard-Madden.net, who have published these and many other photos from the Camden Town sequence ... for information, the guy wearing white-soled shoes featured in their gallery isn’t Richard; I presume he’s the stunt-double used to set up the shots ahead of Richard being harnessed up. http://richard-madden.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=584
January 2020 Now that filming is complete, in Camden, here is a copy of the letter to residents regarding the shooting schedule on location there:
19 November 2019 https://www.lancelotdigital.com/lanzarote/los-primeros-preparativos-del-rodaje-de-la-pelicula-de-angelina-jolie Translated article (thank goodness for Spanish to English translation apps on Google) The first preparations for the filming of the Angelina Jolie movie • PUBLISHED ON NOVEMBER 19, 2019, 3:55 PM At noon on Tuesday, the tents were already being installed in the area near the Cuervo Volcano, specifically on the Camino del Guaco, in the municipality of Tías, the tents that will host the shooting of the film starring the American actress Angelina Jolie. Several containers for the imminent filming of "Los Eternos" had also arrived in the same area in the scenes corresponding to the island of Lanzarote. As part of the production of 'Los Eternos' is known, one of the great productions of Marvel's Phase 4 that has chosen the island along with Fuerteventura to shoot part of the film, it is already on the island looking for locations. In fact, it is said that the American actress Angelina Jolie, one of the protagonists of this film, could already be in Lanzarote. Apparently, 'Los Eternos' will be shot in the area of the Cuervo Volcano and its surroundings, right in the center of La Geria in these coming days. The film, starring Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden - Robb Stark in Game of Thrones -, Salma Hayek or Kumail Nanjiani, will be filmed in different parts of Lanzarote. For this, traffic will be cut on some roads at specific times during the shooting days and also special smoke effects will be recreated. It will be on Saturday 23 when it is expected that disassembly tasks are carried out. Next to the shooting set will be the base camp for catering, production, makeup or costumes. Finally, there will be a space for the technical base, in charge of attending the recording area, according to Canarias. After the premiere in July of 'Spider-man: Away from home', which will kick off a new era of Marvel movies, there is another title that generates high expectation: 'The Eternal'. The cosmic beings that were created by Jack Kirby in 1976 will go to the big screen in a still unknown plot. These Celestials, to refresh the memory of the readers, experimented genetically with human beings, creating superpowers and almost immortal beings, and, incidentally, a more monstrous species known as 'the Deviants', who would continually face for power in the comics.

27 October 2019 – new set photos from Fuerteventura (courtesy of @BRMARVELNEWS and @eternals2020)
26 October 2019 Californian star Angelina Jolie landed yesterday on the island of Fuerteventura to film the shooting of The Eternals, the new film blockbuster of the Marvel studios, owned by the Disney company, and the most ambitious that Europe has hosted this 2019, as well as the biggest milestone in the history of filming in the Canary Islands. The team that integrates Jolie begins filming on the island of Majorera next Monday, where they will stay several days and then move to the island of Lanzarote. On the other hand, the roadmap of the team displaces Tenerife as the third taxiing site due to the regulations of the Teide and its incompatibility with the use of drones, as announced last September. The famous actress from tomb Raider or The Turist, that these days reigns on the billboard with Maleficent 2 Together with Michelle Pfeiffer and Elle Fanning, he advanced his visit to the Canary Islands to explore the island during this weekend and made his way yesterday afternoon at the airport of Fuerteventura armored by security forces and in anticipation of the users. In addition, it is the first visit of the actress to the Archipelago. Under the direction of the Chinese-American filmmaker Chloé Zhao, the film The Eternal It has a stellar cast of regular actors and actresses from movie theater and of the television, that integrate in first line, next to Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Haringtonn, Richard Madden -Rob Stark in Game of Thrones-, Kumail Nanjiani -Dinesh in Silicon Valley-, Lauren Ridloff -Connie in The walking dead– or Brian Tyree Henry -Alfred Paper in Boi Miles in Atlanta-. The Disney production team moved to the island of Fuerteventura earlier this month with their technical equipment and installed their base camp in the enclave of Buen Paso, behind the Las Peñitas Dam, overlooking the town of Pájara a Ajuy, since he has the support of the Canarian producer Sur-Film for his stay in both islands. The filming of the film began last September in London and the forecasts that Disney manages is that the film conquers the cinemas on November 6, 2020. The Eternal It is established as one of the bets that make up the so-called Phase 4 Marvel's plot and plot is based on a film adaptation of the Jack Kirby comics, published in 1976, which narrate the adventures of a group of immortal beings who must protect the Earth from so-called deviants, created by the celestials, who visited the Earth in the First Heavenly Host to provide intelligence to primates. The Marvel / Disney team announced in the presentation of the project during the last edition of the San Diego Comic-Con that the studio signed a luxury cast for the film with the aim of matching the highest ribbon of its latest blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame (2019), confirmed as one of the highest grossing films in the history of movie theater and that put the brooch called Phase 3 of the American franchise. At the first meeting in Gran Canaria signed between Ángel Víctor Torres, president of the Canary Government, with representatives of Disney, the first stressed that hosting a shoot of this magnitude in the Canary Islands constitutes an "undoubtedly tourist claim and leaves a lot of income." He even revealed that some studies indicate that the passage of this filming through both islands that can translate to up to 13 million euros. In this line, it should be remembered that the policy of tax incentives for international film shootings in the Canary Islands, included in the Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF), raises a deduction of 40%, which is the main reason why the Archipelago is erected in one of the great film sets of the world in recent years.
25 October 2019 - The arrival of Angelina Jolie in Fuerteventura ... and Richard too! Angelina and Richard arrive on Fuerteventura … it’s paparazzi ... but ... they are arriving for work, not a holiday! Hence I feel okay about publishing this link: https://twitter.com/i/status/1187765667656810500 Onda Fuerteventura cameras have caught on Friday the arrival at Fuerteventura Airport of the popular actress Angelina Jolie, to shoot some of the scenes of the Disney factory movie, ‘Los Eternos’. As you have learned this medium Salma Hayek will also arrive on the island today to participate in the same film. In fact, the shooting team, the entire human and technical team, will also arrive on the island today. For their trips around the island, the team will use different high-end cars, which have been carrying out several protocol tests for days near the Majorero airfield. Onda Fuerteventura managed to capture images of these cars yesterday afternoon. The film will be shot in various locations. As Diario de Fuerteventura has learned, at least one of the sets is the Palm Grove of Buen Paso, where the scenes of ‘Babylon Battle’ are scheduled to be filmed. In addition, another of the shooting sets, the so called ‘Edge of the City’, would be located in the Mal Paso ravine. In the Buen Paso gavias there would be the shooting set called ‘Babylon City Gate’ and the one called ‘Babylon Excavation Site’. Another location where the film is planned to be filmed is La Solapa Beach. To carry out the filming, the producer has had to present an environmental report and from the area of Environment of the Cabildo a series of measures have been established to avoid environmental conditions. There is a circumstance that filming will take place in protected natural areas, some of them included in the Natura Natura 2000 Network such as the Vega Conservation Area of Río Palmas or the Special Bird Protection Zone of Betancuria. The recording of this film has caused great expectation among moviegoers. At the end of September the first images of the filming of the movie ‘Los Eternos’ in southern Fuerteventura were filtered. These photographs came to light thanks to the post shared by The Marvelous Squad through his Facebook account. In the four shared snapshots you can see some of the scenarios that will take place in the new Marvel movie. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the cast of Los Eternos will consist of Angelina Jolie (Thena), Richard Madden (Ikaris), Kumail Nanjiani (Kingo), Salma Hayek (Ajax), Brian Tyree Henry (Phastos), Lauren Ridloff (Macary), Lia McHugh (Sprite), Don Lee (Gilgamesh) and Kit Harington, who will play Black Knight. At the moment, not much is known about the plot of the film, so we have to wait for Marvel Studios to share more information about it. The release date of Los Eternos is scheduled for November 6, 2020.
24 October 2019 - The eternal Angelina Jolie starts filming In Pájara, the tents of the dining rooms of ‘Los Eternos’ are ready and the road from Buen Paso to Las Peñitas is cut on Sunday by the recording of the Marvel film on Monday The filming of the latest Marvel blockbuster Los Eternos, with Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek, begins this Monday. Since Sunday, it closes the access road to the main set in Buen Paso, in the municipality of Pájara, and tomorrow, Friday, a charter plane lands with the bulk of the team of the Chinese director Chloe Zhao, although it is speculated that the protagonist Maleficent is already staying at a hotel in El Castillo, in the municipality of Antigua. The preparations are accelerated both in Buen Paso, in whose gavias even yesterday they were giving the last touches to the adobe houses and the macromontage of a blue door that reminds of the ancient Mesopotamian cultures, as in the outskirts of Pájara helmet where the tents that will be used as dining rooms for actors and extras. Among the neighbours of Buen Paso, the producer distributed some passes so that their cars can enter and exit without problems on the days of filming during which the passage to the rest of vehicles will be vetoed. Alongside the Buen Paso gavias, the other recording scenarios of Los Eternos are the sienite slabs of the lower part of the Peñitas dam where rainwater forms puddles and La Solapa beach, on the windward coast from the municipality of Pájara. Once Tenerife was unloaded this summer as a set of the latest superproduction of the Marvel universe due to the refusal to use drones in the Teide National Park, filming focuses for now on Fuerteventura, after they have finished in the United Kingdom, where images were leaked Angelina Jolie with blond hair in the role of Thena. Together with the ex-wife of Brad Pitt, they star in Los Eternos - which already has a premiere day (November 6, 2020) - Richard Madden who will be Ikaris, Salma Hayek (Ajak), Kumail Nanjiani (Kingo), Lauren Ridloff (Makkari), Brian Tyree Henry (Phastos, Lia McHug (Sprite) and Don Lie (Gilgamesh). The doubt revolves around the presence of Jolie on the island. The NewsFuerteventura portal said yesterday that it has arrived and that it moves flanked by a troop of high-end black cars. While the stolen photo confirms it, it only remains to see it on the movie boards for the Maleficent premiere.

Filming will take place in several locations in the Majorero territory, especially in the municipalities of Pájara and Antigua. The forecasts that the American producer manages about the premiere is that it reaches theaters on November 6, 2020. The ship 'Gran Canaria Car', which sails under the flag of Portugal, operated on the commercial dock of Puerto del Rosario to disembark numerous vehicles and merchandise destined to the footage of the aforementioned film of the new Marvel universe. The boat is owned by the Suardiaz shipping company, is 129 meters long and 24 meters wide. After unloading the merchandise he left for Gran Canaria and then to Tenerife. Currently, sailing to the port of Cartagena. For several hours, electronic equipment aboard vehicles, cranes, containers loaded with goods, caravans pulled by spinning vehicles, refrigerated trucks and vehicles destined for field kitchens came out of the ship's warehouses. During the time they remained inside the insular pier, security measures were extreme with security guards from private businesses. The works of the construction of the sets continue to develop at a good pace in several of the locations planned for the footage. One of them is located in the Barranco de Buen Paso, where part of the filming of Exodus was also carried out, as well as in an area close to the Pájara treatment plant. Another of the areas is located in the limits of the municipalities of Antigua and Puerto del Rosario where rehabilitation works of a traditional Canarian housing are carried out. The films are starring Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, Lia McHug and Don Lie. Another novelty is the presence of Lauren Ridloff, a deaf actress from the United States. The direction is in charge of the filmmaker Cholé Zhao, of Chinese origin but with American nationality. The film has already started in London and the majorero figurants are already selected. Fuerteventura will shape a world that Marvel Comics first showed in mid-1976. The story, signed by Jack Kirby, develops the adventures of a group of immortal beings that must protect the Earth from the so-called deviants that were created by the celestials, who visited our planet in the First Heavenly Host to provide intelligence to the primates. The majorera island is currently hosting the shooting of 'Hombres de Leche', the first feature of the Canarian filmmaker David Pantaleón that will take place over a month, taking as a backdrop the rural landscapes of several island municipalities.

"We will follow up more rigorously and therefore a closer dialogue with the producers who intend to shoot in Tenerife, so that neither they are disappointed nor that there are misunderstandings that can influence the promotion of the island as an international set. If there is any incompatibility, it will be about finding the solution before announcing any filming", adds the director.

24 July 2019 Photos from Black Park, adjacent to Pinewood Studios, in Buckinghamshire:
Doctor Daniel Damian, a noted archeologist and his daughter Margo, travelled to an Inca City in South America to locate the Incas’ legendary Chamber of the Gods. They were accompanied by a cameraman named Ike Harris (who, in fact, was the Eternal named Ikaris). As a result of this expedition, they discovered the existence of the Celestials, Deviants, and Eternals. I presume this is an Inca temple being constructed! According to reports, non-native trees were also being transplanted to provide authenticity!
