Could be location scouting for any number of upcoming productions. The guy with the "Prometheus crew" jacket might have been involved with the first film but that doesn't necessarily mean he's also currently working on Paradise Lost.Meanwhile, USA Productions (An accurate and professionally researched resource ) has yet again tweeted that Paradise Lost will be filming in Rome:https://twitter.com/Usa_Production/status/658054185427038208Maybe you could ask them if it will be filmed in the bookshop this time?

Although now I'm remembering that the original Alien was shot at Shepperton Studios. I do believe Shepperton does belong to Pinewood anyway. But I do agree with you - I feel kinda sad about it because I'm a Brit and I like the Alien films (sans AvPs and AR, of course) being filmed over here.Apparently all the blighty studios were already fully booked. I suspect Star Wars Ep VIII and Star Wars: Rogue One were two of the prime culprits.Quote from: Yahoo News"Ridley Scott can't find an appropriate film studio in Britain," Ms Bishop told The West Australian ."They were all taken or busy, and he wants to film in Australia because of the facilities, the people and the resources we have.More here: https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/29749272/tax-carrot-for-alien-filmmaker/Quote from: CainsSon on Oct 03, 2015, 05:14:07 AMYeah. It wont be about rebates. I'm a working Production Manager and Assistant Director. No one care about rebates on something that size. QuoteScott had also wanted to film the Matt Damon blockbuster The Martian in Australia but a disagreement with the Government scuttled those plans. The movie was shot in Hungary and Jordan, where Scott secured favourable tax treatment.Three types of refundable tax offsets worth up to 40 per cent of production costs, depending on the extent of Australian content, are available for filmmakers.

Quote from: CainsSon on Oct 28, 2015, 04:36:20 AMThe rebates are just a tool for the Australian government to seal the deal. It may smear the final decision, for sure, and of course, rebates like this are available in the states as well, in places like Louisiana, right now, for instance. A film this size, he will get what he wants regardless of rebates. He wanted Britain, couldn't get it so he looked at Australia and they offered rebates to seal the deal, but if Australian couldn't give him what he wanted, those savings wouldn't do a damn thing. Any rebates on a film this size are just icing.
