Thor blimey: Chris Hemsworth heads to our borough Barking and Dagenham is fast becoming the go-to destination for film and video production, and a recently launched advertising campaign for Emirates airlines on Expo 2020 Dubai, starring Hollywood A-lister Chris Hemsworth was produced here and demonstrates the exciting production facilities on offer in the area. The location of the production was managed by filmlbbd, the borough’s film service, which attracts and facilitates film productions across the area. The site that is soon to be the home to Eastbrook Studios, known as Unit A, in Dagenham was chosen for the filming and the whole process took over four weeks’ activity in the borough.
