Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson Spotted Filming in Newquay

Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson were seen filming in Cornwall recently, adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to the coastal town. The actors were spotted on a boat for what’s believed to be scenes for a new adaptation of Down Cemetery Road, a 2003 thriller novel by British author Mick Herron. They were joined by fellow actor Gary Lewis for scenes filmed around Newquay on Monday, the 11th.

While in Cornwall, Thompson made a stop at a local Falmouth shop, FlapJacker, where she picked up a sizable order of flapjacks to treat the film crew. Known for her down-to-earth nature, the award-winning actress’s gesture brought excitement to the local community, with FlapJacker posting about her visit on social media. The choice of Cornwall for filming highlights the scenic appeal of the region, which has become increasingly popular for film and TV productions.

Though details of the project remain under wraps, the presence of such high-profile actors has drawn attention and intrigue from fans, adding anticipation for Herron’s adaptation and its journey from page to screen.
