An iconic iPhone rig shot from Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later was shared recently on social media, but did you know the 'infected' is a student from Newcastle College's Performance Academy?
BA (Hons) Acting student Euan Bell successfully auditioned for a role as one of the infected, earning significant screen time and appearing in the iconic shot that has been making waves on social media.
Level 3 Acting student Jess Bell was also selected for a role; earning a place as the picture double for lead actor Alfie Williams - a casting decision kept secret until filming wrapped.
Jess said: "Working on the set of 28 Years Later was such a surreal experience and genuinely the best couple of months in my life. Being able to see the ins and outs of how movie sets work at such a close distance was magical. I am so beyond grateful for the opportunity, I got to meet so many outstanding actors including Jodi Comer, Jack O'Connell, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Chi Lewis Parry, Ralph Fiennes and of course Alfie Williams who is the actor that I was doubling for."
