The silver screen beckons Randall
THE GHERKIN was taken over by film crews yesterday, as a movie starring Kelsey Grammer (yes, Frasier) chose the Sky News studio as one of its backdrops. Why? Well, the movie includes a scene involving the Jeff Randall Show and the presenter was roped in to play himself on screen.
The Sky News team had to put up with disruption all day as the shots for Breaking the Bank were filmed. Presenter Joel Hills described Jeff’s portrayal of himself as “convincing”. “Take 3 was ‘perfect’. Director wants ‘one more for safety, without the laptop’. Jeff wants more make-up. I want to get on air at 12:45,” Hills tweeted at 12.35pm.
The film, directed by Vadim Jean, is due for release next year and we’re sure you’ll be as delighted as us to hear it’s described as “Wall Street meets Four Weddings.” A nice little farewell for Randall who leaves Sky this month.
