Birmingham’s brilliant industrial heritage is set to pay silver screen dividends again.

Several key roads in the Jewellery Quarter are to be turned into American-style vistas ready for a major Warner Bros feature film to start shooting in early September.

Local businesses and residents are currently being informed by letter about the shooting schedule.

The aim is to try to minimise disruption on top of major local traffic management issues currently affecting that side of the city centre on a daily basis.

The letter is from Deep Blue Productions and follows a similar one issued on the other side of Great Charles Queensway this spring to explain shooting on The Golden Circle sequel to The Kingsman.

Writing about the latest new movie to come to town, Deep Blue Productions says: “The sequence we are going to film is an action sequence and we will need a protracted period of control on Livery, Water, Henrietta, Mary Ann, Lionel and Newhall Street and by default some other surrounding streets will be affected.

“We are very aware that the road works that are in place in Birmingham already have an impact on traffic flow and we will work very closely with a traffic management company to minimise this further.”

Work to transform the buildings will be held from August 22 to September 4.

Filming will take place on September 5 on Lionel and Newhall Street and then from September 6-9 on Livery, Water and the surrounding streets.

There will also be a night of filming on Friday, August 19 on Mary Ann Street, but this will have a smaller impact.

The note adds: “We are very excited about bringing such a prestigious film to Birmingham and while we are working in the area we do appreciate that this is your home and place of work and thank you for your patience and understanding.

“During filming when the streets will be closed to traffic, residents will always be able to reach your homes and staff and clients to reach their places of work or offices – when the cameras are rolling we will manage and marshal foot traffic and we may have to ask the public to wait for a short period while the shots are completed.”

Last year, Warner Bros shot the Glenn Close film The Girl with All the Gifts in Birmingham.

It now has a release date in the UK of September 23.

As with the Twentieth Century Fox film Kingsman: The Golden Circle – which turned out to be a second unit shoot with no major stars – a Film Birmingham spokesman said no details about the latest shoot could be discussed in advance.
