Westfield London Features in it's First Film

We have all seen and heard about the fantastic London landmark, Westfield London. It has been covered in our newspapers and featured on national radio and television shows. It has also been used in two high profile commercials, however it is now about to hit the big screen and will be featured in a new UK feature Film “4.3.2.1” written and directed by Noel Clarke from KiDULTHOOD and AdULTHOOD fame.

The film is an action adventure produced in collaboration with NBC Universal, featuring 4 girls over 3 days, in 2 cities, each with 1 chance to change their lives dramatically and forever! The film will be shot throughout London and New York as well as at the world famous Pinewood Studios.

Westfield London is where the film begins and it is where the four girls are all together for the first time. The director being from West London himself, really wanted the iconic London location to be included knowing that such a stunning architectural building will look amazing on the big screen!

The filming took place over three days in various locations throughout the centre, with thanks to Westfield London and their exclusive filming agents Unitbase.co.uk Ltd, this was able to happen, all within the centre’s opening hours. The final day of filming was the real test, with 100 extras on site populating the mall areas, along with ordinary members of the public allowed to be involved, careful liaison was needed between Westfield, Unitbase and the production team, to make sure all the action was controlled and carried out safely!

This is only the beginning for Westfield London, interest in filming at the shopping centre is building, as word of mouth spreads about its usability and ease of filming again with thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Unitbase.co.uk, a leading film and television location agency based in Central London.
