The Lyndie London

The 'Lyndie London' - 'Atonement' Film Set, Redcar
In August 2006 the glitz of the film world arrived in Redcar, the town fired into life with the hiring of local people to play extras in the blockbuster film ‘Atonement’ which starred among others Vanessa Redgrave, Saoirse Ronan, Romola Garai, Keira Knightley and the main star of the film James McAvoy and here he was in Redcar !. The film directed by Joe Wright adapted from the book by Ian McEwan, centred around the second world war and Redcar beach was used as a back drop for Dunkirk (In my opinion the best scene in the film !). A red carpet premier was held in Redcar’s Regent Cinema the night before its UK release.
