BARCELONA ISSUE 31 Apr 2005

Barcelona hosts the shooting of Spanish-UK thriller "Cargo".
In recent weeks, the night time activity at the city's merchant harbour has been unusually intense as the filming team have been working very hard.
A few months ago, location scouters for the film contacted Barcelona Plató Film Commission looking for old ships to use as a set. They chose the Nigerian flag ship IRA to place the action of Clive Gordon's latest film "Cargo", starring Daniel Brühl, Luis Tosar and Peter Mullan. After film-takes in Barcelona and its surroundings, shooting will finish in Ghana.

Cargo is one of the first films to be shot in Barcelona in 2005. So far, 10 other feature films have approached the Barcelona Plató Film Commission looking for help in shooting in Barcelona.
