The movie stars Harrison Ford, 78, in the title role of the swashbuckling archaeologist with supporting parts going to Mads Mikkelsen, 55, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 35. Filming will begin on the same stretch of track used only a few weeks ago by Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible 7.
A glimpse at the props being set-up showed a black steam train which had been transformed into a Nazi carrier engine and vintage cars. A swastika insignia had been attached to the side of the steam engine, as well as onto a wooden pallet and onto the side of a green passenger carriage. A number of props were also being positioned by crew members onto open-topped carriages to give the impression that the steam engine was transporting goods for the Nazis in the film. Additionally, a number of vintage vehicles were also spotted parked on a field nearby. A troop-carrying truck, as featured in a number of the other Indiana Jones films was one of the vehicles parked near the train tracks, with crews working to put on the canvas roofing. Additionally, a vintage motorcycle featuring a sidecar was also among the vehicles – a similar bike featured in the third Indiana Jones instalment.
The set pictures comes after reports in the media that shooting for the film will also take place at the ‘haunted’ Bamburgh castle situated on the northeast coast of England by the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. The crew is reportedly ‘spooked’ by the famed Pink Lady. According to the publication, the crew is worried about the castle as it is haunted by the Pink Lady from the Middle Ages who roams the halls. ‘It sounds silly but before filming even starts, all any of us are talking about is the ghost. It’s a seriously creepy place,’ an insider told the site. ‘A surprising number of the crew really believe in this stuff and it’s rattled everyone. A number of the team are reluctant to even go into the oldest part of the castle, it’s really shaken them up… ‘The team will have to overcome it, even if some of them want to avoid certain places.’
