🎬 Exciting times in Dolgellau! The legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins has been spotted in the charming Welsh town, drawing quite the crowd. The two-time Oscar winner is back in Wales to film “A Visit To Grandpa’s,” a lovely adaptation of Dylan Thomas’ classic tale. 🌿
Filming is buzzing around Dolgellau, with some areas transformed just for the set. Ian King captured Sir Anthony in action, sharing snaps on his local Facebook page. The excitement is real, especially for Councillor Linda Morgan, who had the chance to meet him. She shared her joy at the production choosing Dolgellau, saying it’s put the town back on the map! 🎥
The film follows a young boy, played by Artie Wilkinson-Hunt, as he delves into a world of imagination with his grandpa, played by Hopkins. With acclaimed director D.J. Caruso at the helm, the movie promises to be a heartfelt journey into Welsh landscapes and storytelling.
Anthony Hopkins, who hails from Port Talbot, expressed his delight in returning to his roots, praising the power of Dylan Thomas’ prose and his creative bond with the director. We’re thrilled to see such an incredible story coming to life right here in Wales!
