Anthony Hopkins films reshoots for A Visit to Grandpa’s in California
Anthony Hopkins is filming reshoots for A Visit to Grandpa’s in Pasadena, California.
The 88-year-old Welsh actor stars as the grandfather in the film, which also features Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The film adapts a 1938 story by Welsh writer Dylan Thomas about a boy spending the summer on a remote farm in Wales.
The boy expects a dull stay, but his eccentric grandfather turns it into a series of imaginative adventures.
