WATCH: Apocalypse strikes Alton in new movie Greenland 2: Migration

The end of the world is nigh, so where do you go? Alton, of course!

Characters in the forthcoming film Greenland 2: Migration are heading for a radiation-free crater in southern France but somehow end up in a market town in East Hampshire along the way.

Greenland 2: Migration, which will be released next year, is the sequel to 2020 movie Greenland, which follows a family’s fight for survival as a planet-destroying comet races towards Earth. The sequel stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin and Roman Griffin Davis.

Alton Town Council town clerk Tom Horwood said: “Filming in Alton - in Market Square and Anstey Park - took place in May 2024, and the trailer can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ieN10lX40

“There is a glimpse of an apocalyptic Market Street and the town hall from one minute and 28 seconds into it.”
