Kiefer Sutherland Loves Yorkshire Town’s Warm Welcome and Panto Charm

Kiefer Sutherland, a well-known Hollywood actor, recently spent time in the Yorkshire market town of Knaresborough to film his new festive movie, Tinsel Town. The film also stars Rebel Wilson and Danny Dyer, making it an exciting project for the local community. Sutherland plays Bradley Mack, a former Hollywood action star who finds himself taking part in a quirky production of Cinderella in a small English village. Rebel Wilson takes on the role of Jill, the straightforward choreographer who helps bring the play to life.

During his stay, Sutherland spoke highly of the people in Knaresborough, describing them as 'so nice and welcoming. ' He mentioned that he made friends in the area and promised to return in the future. The filming took place in several picturesque locations around the town, including Castlegate, Riverside, and Green Dragon Yard. Residents and local businesses were thrilled to see the cast and crew working in their community, and many commented on how friendly Sutherland was during the shoot.

The director, Chris Foggin, praised Knaresborough as the ideal 'chocolate box' setting for the movie, saying that the cooperation of local businesses and residents made the filming possible. Before its official release on Sky Cinema, Tinsel Town will have an exclusive early screening at Frazer Theatre in Knaresborough, thanks to the efforts of a local resident who secured permission from Sky. Sutherland said the film would give American audiences a glimpse of British traditions and humor, and he enjoyed learning about the unique style of British pantomime. The town is proud to have been chosen as the backdrop for the movie, and the excitement surrounding the film has brought the community together.
