DOLBADARN Castle in Gwynedd is to close for filming works next month.
The closure will be in effect from May 21 to 31, during which time the filming will take place.
Filming will be overseen by the London-based company Katana Films Ltd, which is also using nearby Conwy Castle on May 21 and 22.
Katana Films said it had no further information about the project itself which it could share at this time.
However, there is speculation that the film is English writer and director Alex Garland's adaptation of the Elden Ring video game.
Known for films Ex Machina and Annihilation, Garland’s writing credits include The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go and Dredd.
A spokesperson for Cadw, which is responsible for Dolbadarn Castle, said: “Filming is taking place at Castell Dolbadarn from Thursday, May 21 to Sunday, May 31.
“The castle will be closed to the public during these dates.”
A traffic order regarding closure of relevant footpaths takes effect on Tuesday, May 26, on application from Katana Films Ltd.
The order states: “The order is necessary for filming works.
“The order comes into effect on May 26, 2026, and will continue in force for a period not exceeding one month, or until the work which it is proposed to carry out on the road is completed, whichever is the earlier.
“If the work is not completed within one month, the order may be extended for a further period of one month, with the approval of the Welsh Government.
“At this stage it is anticipated that the work will be completed within approximately five days.”
