From Hollywood to different areas of Teruel and Belchite. The Walking Dead “Daryl Dixon”. is saying goodbye to Aragonese lands after landing in the Community with the which is the biggest shooting to date. A team composed of about 350 people have been working on three sets in parallel in and around this historic site for the past two weeks.
This Hollywood blockbuster came to this town in Zaragoza after filming in different locations in Teruel. The filming has had great collaboration from Aragonese institutions, counties and city councils, as well as Aragón Film Commission and Teruel Film Commission, who have been in charge of proposing locations, facilitating the processing of permits and contacts with suppliers.
The shooting in Belchite has been complicated as a result of the heavy rains caused by the last DANA. dumped in the area. The chapter’s director, the Spaniard Paco Cabezas, arrived in Belchite looking for desert but has had to deal with unusual weather conditions in the area. Even so, the production team has managed to complete its shooting schedule without any major delays.
AMC has just released the trailer for season 3, which will arrive in 2025. It features shots from the chapter filmed in Aragonese lands. Thus, the protagonist Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is seen riding a motorcycle through the Planerón de Belchite.
Also he can be seen on horseback riding along the Endesa railway line between Samper and Andorra.. The shooting in Teruel took place at the end of October and had the collaboration of the Asociación Zaragozana de Amigos del Ferrocarril y Tranvías (Azaft), which provided one of its trains.
The third season of the popular series takes the main characters, Daryl and his friend Carol Pelletier (Melissa McBride), to Spain after their time in France and England.. Along with the protagonists have participated in these weeks of filming a good number of specialists responsible for interpreting the zombies arrived from the United States. Although there will be no Aragonese zombies in this chapter, the production has counted on numerous local extras characterized as lepers.
Natalia Martínez, head of the Aragón Film Commission, has underlined the importance of this filming, “the largest one hosted in this Community”. The recruitment of this production for filming in Aragón and the preparation of the arrival of the crew has required about eight months of work.
The uniqueness of the proposed locations was a determining factor in the arrival of this superproduction. The old town of Belchite has been, once again, an irresistible attraction for Hollywood. Filming in this historic enclave, a vestige of the Spanish Civil War, has required the intervention and collaboration of the Belchite City Council and the General Directorate of Heritage of the Government of Aragon, which have established the necessary measures to preserve the historic site.
