🎬 Freya Allan of 'The Witcher' heads a horror film shot in London's ghost tube stations
Freya Allan, known as Ciri in The Witcher, will star in 'System', a new horror movie by Joachim Rønning of Norway, now filming under London.
The mystery
London has dozens of closed, empty underground stations that most people never see. A new horror film is using those dark tunnels as its set — and the story itself is still a secret.
The answer
Variety reports that filming on 'System' is under way in disused stations and tunnels beneath London. The plot has not been revealed. Denzel Baidoo and Felix Edwards join Allan in supporting roles. Rønning, who made his name with 'Kon-Tiki' and later directed a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film and 'Tron: Ares', wrote the script with his brother Andreas and will direct and produce. Producers include Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures, whose past horror credits include 'It', 'Weapons' and 'Paranormal Activity', along with MetFilm and Image Nation Studios. Allan earned two Saturn Award nominations for playing Ciri and will be back for the last season of Netflix's 'The Witcher' — its fifth — expected in late 2027.
